89 900 Turbo -- Occasional quitting

Hi all, I'm considering purchase of an 89 900 turbo that's in beautiful condition, owned by a good friend of mine. It has 119K miles. He's maintained it faithfully, but the reason he bought another car is that about every 2 to 4 weeks the car would suddenly die for no apparent reason and not restart unless it sits for -- sometimes, 10 minutes -- othertimes, an hour. He had the Saab dealer mechanics try lots of things (full tune up, new fuel pumps, ignition module, etc) and each time he thought it was fixed -- for a couple weeks until it happened again. Finally, his wife got fed up and he bought another car. Now the turbo sits in his driveway and has for almost a year, looking great, tempting me to buy it and try it.
Now you know everything I do about the car. If you were in this position, and bought the car, what would you try? I was thinking, perhaps fuel pump relay? Replace it pre-emptively? An intermittent ground somewhere? Other thoughts?
Thanks for the advice . . . I really liked the car and am likely to buy it!
Dave
