I would not assume that any electrical problem is minor. I assume that you can take the 95SET to a dealer as part of the warrantee? The SID will be a modual swap. Door could be more difficult. The Clock syncronization is some kind of slight of hand thing, not a defect. Mine has always stayed sync'd, so I don't know the trick.
Lots of folks have suspension noise in the cold, but not everyone.
Get the Saab Sports SS cat back exhaust. It works great. If you are after power, there are lots of things that you can do, and some significant stuff is DIY and minimal cost.
There were some issues with the very first ng900 front suspension. I don't know the details. The 1994 and part of the 1995 production had the front sway bars attached to the radius arms. This was then changed with a design that put the sway bars onto the lower control arms. I have heard about retro work done on the early ng900, but don't know the details.
Many folks have had the strut top bearing, bushings etc fail. You will want to get that evaluated. I have 190000km on mine with no problems.
Rear seal leaks are common, so are 5spd trany seal leaks.
Remove the turn signal assy's, then the head lamps. Note or mark where the steel clips are that hold on the lense. Pry off, use a cloth to block any clips that go balistic. Pry from the glass side... lower coefficient of friction. Carefully remove the lense to preserve the gasket. Clean lense and reflectors with windex and a soft cotton cloth. The edges of the reflectors are razor sharp!!!. Put a light film of silicone grease on the gasket and reassemble. Note on the lower outboard corners a 1/4" 6mm hex drive for the lamp elevation. Make sure that this is freed up before you put the lamp back. Note that once reinstalled, this adjuster is accessed through a hole in the sheet metal above, and a 6" extension will be required. After cleaning, the lamps will be like new and very bright in daylight appearance.
