" but I don't want to get ripped off or buy into a headache." Welcome! I understand exactly how you feel. I HATE buying new (old) cars for exactly the same reasons. Others will tell you anything to look out for on that particular model. You see a lot of posts warning about auto boxes, but I think that's just because they're just so expensive to fix if something does go wrong and not because they are especially unreliable. But having bought 2 old high mileage Saab 9000's myself, I always take comfort from a full service history showing that it has been well maintained. Old Saabs are in general well built, not so prone to rusting and the engines are legendary for lasting if they've been looked after. Hopefully the previous owner will have been an enthusiast & taken care of things when they needed done. If it's not practical to have it checked over by your local Saab dealer, then apply the same common sense you would to any other make. Good luck - I hope it's the one you've been looking for :)
