Advice on a purchase of 1985 Saab 900 4-door

I am looking for any advice on the possible purchase of a 1985 Saab 900 (base model) 4-door sedan. It caught my eye as the body is in really good shape both inside and out (a west coast/Vancouver car).
Here are the specs:
5-speed, new clutch, new Pirelli tires, new brakes.
However mileage is at 340,000km and I believe the engine is original. Am I looking at serious potential problems here? The asking price is Cdn$1800 (about US$1100).
It also has air-conditioning but doesn't work well (freon recharge or check belt) During test drive the shift into third tended to be rough (could just be my getting used to it) but the rest were fine. Starts well and idles fine. Tracks very straight. There was also a squeak/squeel coming from the front right during the drive and I was told this was the AC belt.
I will be having a Saab mechanic/garage take a look at it but am looking for any words of wisdom.
Thanks in advance.
