advice needed -- no pick-up on 97 turbo

I am looking at buying a 97 900SE turbo, 63K miles. The woman is selling it for a song -- about half blue book. Only problem with it is -- as of the past month it has been sluggish to pick up when gassing it from a full stop. Her mechanic flushed the transmission and put in a new battery and alternator, but still it slow in pick up. It doesn't happen getting on an on-ramp, just from zero.
Any ideas?
Second question -- the 63K have been very city miles -- little old lady driving to the store and back. But the oil changed every 3K.
Should I be concerned that the potential big problems -- engine, transmission, ignition, etc. -- usually show up between 60-90K, so it is riskier than buying a 100K car. shown up yet? And that my guess is most of the miles were in 5 mile increments.
Advice, anyone?
