121k 00 9-3 SE, This has been a very good car. My clutch was replaced at 92k, DI replaced twice, replaced head bolts and valve cover gasket, front brakes at 96k, four sets of tires, 2 idler pulleys, 2 serp belts to date...oil changed every 5k with Mobil 1 0w-40. I still have the original PCV setup, but will likely change to the rev.6 fix now that it looks like it works. Paint and interior looks like new, but wood dash cracked above headlight switch.
Based on the sludge issues, I would have the car checked to make sure it is not a candidate for this...again frequent oil changes with good quality synthetic oil is key here. Exhaust system can be expected to develop leaks at you mileage, but this is a cheap and easy fix. If well cared for and free of sludge it could be a good car for you and serve you well.
