Hello,
Congrats on the new purchase! My ABS Saabs always had harder brake-pedal pressures than my non-ABS Saabs.
When my accumulator went (round black object next to the brake fluid resevoir) the ABS and BRAKE warning lights would come on briefly as well. There are many posts on how to check this, but briefly pump the brake pedal rapidly & fully multiple times. It should take 8+ times to activtate both warning lights in a normally functioning Saab. 6-8 means the accumulator may be sick and <6 means replace right away.
HTH
