Having clocked 98,400 on my 2000lpt.
Things that may need to be done soon:
1) Idler pulley and tensioner replacement on the serpentine belt. The belts are recommended for change at 60K, no Saab recommendation on the pulleys, but some pulleys are failing prior to the second belt change.
2) Exhaust system. May have been done already, if not it will need it soon.
3) Front rotors. Rears seem to last forever.
4) Coolant and brake fluid changed. Dealer may have done this if they were maintaining car - but previous owner may not have seen need to spend the few dollars. Thermostat too, and maybe hoses.
5) The dreaded DI Cassette. No electronic component will last forever, especially when it is nestled between the camshafts of a high output turbo-charged engine!
That's all I can think of. Others may have more suggestions of items to verify have been changed.
