By me, Saabs don't come up for sale often, especially convertibles. People on this board come up with bargains but I never see them. Granted I'm not looking for that bargain $800 hatchback either.
The top will cost you 1200 - 1500 or so. Even though the window is good, you should change the whole rear curtain. There has to be some shrinkage over the past 9-10 years and it will likely look old next to a new top.
The clock spring will cost you 200-300. Have it done; careful with the airbag you know.
Sounds like you're prepared to do the head gasket yourself, so, that's the cost of a gasket and your time.
The tranny, the achilles heel, may be due. Most prefer the manual for the fun factor, but, with "proper" care given to both manual and automatic, one is not any better than the other.
Very important to me is the body as the mechanicals can be replace more easily. I love these cars enough that I would not be looking to sell and patrially/fully make my money back, so, I would look at the monetary outlay differently than others on this board.
If you and the daughter like it, bring it to an independent who knows and understands Saabs. A good independent should be able to tell you the state of the mechanicals. Maybe he will give it his blessing?
