learn how to replace the thermostat, then replace it every year.
I have a 89 900 that I bought 2 years ago, had no data on the age of the thermostat. It stuck and the car got somewhat hot. Didn't do any damage, but if I did not have my eye on the temperature gauge it might have blown a head gasket/cracked a head/etc.
Thermostat from any parts store for about $6. There is NO gasket for the Saab...it does not use one. Don't waste time looking for one.
Change oil every 6000 miles, keep an eye on the condition of your water hoses. Watch the heater hose where is passes near the alternator belt. It can get worn through.
and of course, live a clean life and practice senseless acts of kindness... :-)
