I have a 2002 9-3SE as well as a 2002 9-5 Aero SW. The 9-5 suffered a sludge failure due to the neglect of the former owner, and though it was not cheap to fix, the car now runs like a top and is my daily driver. A nice tight car, but so is the 9-3SE.
Get maintenance records for any used car you buy. Don't be turned off by a used one, but if you're suspicious, have the valve cover pulled so you have some peace of mind.
I'm not a fan of the 03> 9-3s or the '06> 9-5's. They lost me when they went to the irrelevant "me too" 6-speed tranny and Saturn steering wheel.
