Looking to buy 2003 CTS need opinions

Hello,

New guy here. Need some opinions on this car since I am unfamiliar with them.

Can you all enlighten me as to things to look out for in a used CTS. Known mechanical issues or maintenance that needs to be done at this point that I should ask about. Also, how are these cars in snow? I would be running dedicated snow tires at all 4 corners of course.

2003 3.2 6 cylinder with 64K miles
Says it has Luxury and Sport package (what do these include?)
Express Moonroof
Side Airbags
1 Owner
Blue Onyx with Light Neutral Interior
$10,500 IS this a good deal?

thank you in advance for your help group!

03 is a good car.
things to watch for are crank position sensor, valve cover gaskets leaking and the PCV system needs to be upgraded with a service bulletin that GM released.
also a brake hose recall.
