The 99s did have a few more problems, that being the first year they were sent to the U.S. Most of the problems were ironed out on later cars. However I wouldn't say don't buy the one your wife wants just because it is a 99. The primary thing to look for is what has been accomplished. The turbo on the 99lpt had some seal problems, this would show up with blue smoke on startup, so you should look for this and check to see if the turbo had been replaced with the improved version. There were also some PVC problems and you should also check to see if any warrant/recall work was done on this. Other than that, the standard stuff, have it checked out be a Saab mechanic and check the maintenance records.
