I'm no expert but i've spent my share of money having my two saabs repaired over 16 years of ownership.
obviously check for CV joint noise while circling slowly. also , wheel bearing noise (consider the tires and tread pattern, wear left), clutch throw-out bearing noise (if applicable),shock life, each and every electrical doomahikky you can test. ensure brake calipers aren't seizing (pedal should travel somewhat, not hit a brick wall and stop). if u can get under it and check for fluid leaks, do it! if u can take it for an inspection otherwise, do it! how long has current owner had vehicle, what maintenance records are available, etc. Compression test would be nice too. to experts out there - can one visibly check for clutch wear?
good luck!
