Jim,
Without wanting to play the role of the "Grinch", SAAB's automatic transmissions of that era are junk. They didn't perform well when they were new, and are more prone to "automatic transmission suicide" than almost any other automatic transmission I've ever seen. Even if the transmission apparently works well now, you can figure on replacing it in short order. Try to find out if the trans. has been replaced recently; if it has, then you may get several years out of it. If its the original transmission, and your heart is set on the car, insist on knocking off a good chunk of the asking price - you will have to replace the trans, and it will cost you roughly $1,500 for the transmission alone.
