To buy or not to buy

I am considering to buy a 1993 Saab 900T convertible and need some advice. I have owned two 1987 900T convertibles in the past, but never an automatic transmission. Upon driving this car, it felt very different than a manual. Should it? It feels like it needs to shift to a higher gear. Its history includes a head rebuid 30k ago and a new transmission 3k ago. Apparently, the first two transmissions that they tried to drop into it, "didn't take." The car has 106,000 miles and is listed at $5350, no AC and otherwise good condition considering its age. The owner has been taking care of it when things go wrong and has the records, but doesn't know much about Saabs. Advice anyone? We are taking it to our local mechanic to have it checked out, but wanted to consult the board first.
Cheers.
