Thats not crazy high, or bad price for a nice, clean 01 with low miles, but you might negotiate a lower price. If it's really clean and checks out well, I'd pay that.
You didn't mention if this was from a dealer? One thing you should look into is to see if the timing belt has been changed at the recommended 60K interval. Saab does the first one for free but a lot of V-6 owners here recommend that you have the pulleys changed too, (which Saab does not cover). I think changing the pulleys is an additional $400.00 +/- but someone else can chime in on that.
If you have a Saab dealer near you I would recommend having a used car inspection, (my dealer charges $125.00). Probably money down the drain but you never know if they turn up something that may cost you a few hundred bucks next week that you could negotiate today.
I would also ask to see the maintenance history and ask PO if you can keep the receipts for future reference.
The 9-5 SE V6 is a solid car and I'm sure you will enjoy it.
Good luck.
