considering 02 Viggen

greetings,
i am thinking about buying an 02 Viggen 5DR with about 120K miles on it. The reason I'm considering such a high mileage viggen is for a few reasons: price ($7500), good service history (one owner), and very nice condition all around. the car is being sold at a volvo dealership, and they have apparently done a once over on the car. since i'm unable to see the car first-hand, i'm out on a bit of a limb and will have to first commit to flying there, inspecting it, then buying it.
my concerns are that there are no oil/coolant leaks (which they say there are none after sitting for a week in the same spot) or sludge build-up, which i won't know until the oil pan gets dropped. besides that, what are other things that i should take note of or ask about? if i buy the car, i am prepared to have all the major service items addressed, as well as possibly get a new DI cassett, and stuff like that. If the miles are mostly from highway commuting, I would tend to be less concerned about it. seems like a lot of them to rack up in just 6 years, but hard to say what it was used for.
