Get a warrantee covering at least first 6 months/7,000 miles. For 5 grand, "AS IS" ain't good enough.
Make sure top is in GREAT condition, as 5 grand is a strong OK, but not outstanding. A top will set you back $1200 if done at a shoppe.
Play with all buttons, INCLUDING air conditioning. If anything smells sweet or bad, walk away as radiator leaks or mold in air ducts. AMke sure Mirrors work.
Look for body work, things that don't make PERFECT seals, as a car in an accident will have problems lining up, ESPECIALLY the convertible top.
Finally, for 5 grand, it MUST have the SAAB factory boot covers. They go for $500 on the market, they came with the cars when sold new, and if a dealer wants top dollar, they should be there. If not, deduct from price.
Good luck, but be willing to walk away. NEVER fall in love with a car pre-purchase. That is how you get screwed. I waited for my car for 9 months until just the right car came up. Nothing less than everything I wanted would do, and nothing less than a bargain was what I was looking for.
