I just bought an 01 9-5 SE last its under warranty until Sept 05.
I also looked at the 02's. I opted for the 01 because there aren't many 02 Arcs around yet and won't be many for 3 or 4 more months. I couldn't wait that long.
Check the carfax report. Call a Saab dealer (or 2) to get the warranty history. I did that and found that my purchase had the DIC replaced in April of this year and the SID and battery replaced in September.
I'll buy an extended warranty early next year. It'll be around $2500 bucks, but I'd rather have the insurance than roll the dice. That's me. Rolling the dice without insurance is also an excellent option if you've got the money and will service the car aggressively.
