My '94T-conv. has an automatic trans. If you find a really well cared for car (clean, no rust, good mechanically) don't let the auto trans stop you from buying it.
The auto trans are not a favorite around here but, they are not that bad. All SAAB transmissions have their problems.
I change about 3.5 quarts of fluid with every oil change. I started doing this after I bought the car and flushed the fluid completely. This keeps fresh fluid in there. At 115K miles it is still doing just fine....I bought it with 64K on it. It is overkill but, ATF is a bit over a buck a quart....much cheaper than a new trans.
As far as gas mileage, I have actually gotten better or about the same MPG on the convertible as I have on my n/a '90 with a 5 speed on long trips....believe it or not! I'm sure the cruise control had something to do with that though.
Have fun shopping....
