If it's not sludged, it won't sludge with the driving you do. With four 90 mile drives each week, the oil will get good and hot, and boil off the unburned fuel and (especially) water formed from combustion.
It's the repeated short drives that cause sludge risk, so in my mind, a 2000 car with only 55,000 to 60,000 miles, especially with 10K oil change intervals, is worth checking carefully. But if it's OK the day you pick it up, you won't have any problems.
My 2000 Viggen has 168,000 miles. I'll soon have the pan off, but I'm not expecting any sludge because I drive 100 miles or more a day.
