That sounds like a decent example, especially if the price is right. The heater box fix is pretty well-documented here, and since you sound like you know what you're doing, I'd try diving into it, myself. As a matter of habit, I consider idler pulleys a wear/maintenance item, and I had them all replaced along with the belt at the 90k service. The rolling noise could be the tires, or possibly front wheel bearings. The Saab OE brake pads are heck on the rotors, but thankfully, the rotors are easy enough to come by. I'd switch pad compounds up front to ceramics or perhaps EBC Greenstuff pads. They'll last *much* longer. The rear rotors wear all right with the Saab OE pads.
That being said, I've loved my '01 Aero--it's been a terrific car, reasonably low maintenance and far more reliable (and smoother) than the '93 9000 Aero that preceeded it. I've driven every mile of the 140k miles it has racked up since new.
