A while back I asked my independant SAAB technician what model years were good for SAABs in general (I was then in the market for a newer car). He said '84, '87 and 93. They seemed to him, for some some reason, to be banner years in terms of reliability. I own an'84 900 with approx. 374 K on the original engine and only one tranny rebuild (at 125K), but we're not talking a Turbo, just a base model.
Your car sounds great as long as you have it thouroughly checked out stem to stern by a reliable and knowledgeable SAAB mechanic. Turbo SAABs in my experience have been driven much harder than base or S models. Otherwise if it checks out, ENJOY! I drove a 9-3 Viggen Convertable last Summer and thot it was the most fun I'd had in years. The speed was impressive, but the top down made the biggest impression on me.
