... Automatic trannies are less robust than the less than good manuals. Trannies are the Achille's heel of Saab 900's. Unless you get the car for really cheap, I would walk and look for a lower mileage 1994 or 1993 convertible. Either that or upgrade the car to manual tranny. I would not pay more than 700 for the car, no matter how good it looks. If this car hesitates to shift into any gear or shifts at high RPM, the tranny is on its way out. If it is slow to reverse, it is on its way out. Tell the owner to let you get there when the car is COLD. If the engine and tranny are warm, the tranny will work better, hence, the owner is hiding something.
