Standard caveats. Make sure it idles smoothly, doesn't smoke, shifts smoothly, clutch is solid, etc. Is it a Turbo model (cery desirable and commands a premium)? Is is an automatic (not necessarily bad, but less desirable and should command less $)? The 88 model year has the later 9000 style wheel bolt patter and brakes. Look for rust on the RHS of the hood under the saab emblem, look for signs of repaint (all panels should have a sticker with the VIN on it). Make sure all options work (Cruise, windows if power, power locks, mirrors). Look for oil on the aft inside lip of the hood indicating a leaky seal on the A/C compressor. Look for oil around the front main seal (bottom of engine near the firewall).
If you do not mind maintaining a car, these are great. Do not expect it to be a gas and oil affair, though (a'la honda mazda, and toyota). You will be paid back in spades, though with a great comfortable car which handles and does not look like everything else out there.
