With all due respect to AeroLady, who I know got her Aero SW about the same time as myself, and wouldn't accuse her of abusing her SAAB, but...
Generally, if they haven't had PCV#6 done in 8+ years, I question if they really took care of the car.
You don't mention a $, so that makes a big difference, but there's a lot of SAAB's out there that people have taken REAL good care of, and I would consider PCV#6 one measure of that.
Now, I wouldn't necessarily let that prevent me from buying the car, it's just one piece of info.
Also, search "sludge" or "PCV#6" here and you'll find plenty of info, but I don't think that the lack of PCV6 means you're more likely for sludge. More likely to have oil leak at head gasket, but not "bad" engine. If the head gasket isn't leaking (e.g., Aerolady's?), I don't think that lack of PCV6 implies any engine sludge potential or other engine problems.
good luck
