I own a 1994 saab 900s convertible, automatic. I learned all about this car the unfortunate way and even replaced the trans (with an auto...duh). I would never buy this car again as someone pointed out the auto stinks and I am now planning a changeover to a five speed (anyone offer advice on what transmission goes with this car?!).
Very likely scenario is that the head gasket will need replacing if it hasn't already been. I say this as they modified the fan setup in this year to run only one fan. Problem is that this leads to a higher run temp and a tendency to overheat (yes, I'm speaking from experience).
Ball joints are common on this car as well.
Peruse http://www.townsendimports.com for complete details on this baby.
If it is a manual trans... then it is worth looking into.
Good luck!
PS I foudn that the reports on VIN numbers are crap as most accidents are not on these. Yes .... my beast was one of these. Absolutely a bad buy, but fortunately my stubborness has overcome most of the challenges this one has thrown at me.
