what's the rush? can you hold out for a better one?
i'd say look to western states for a nice rust free model firstly. next i would say that high mileage does not matter IF the car has been taken care of. HEAD GASKET/head resurface...other gaskets...seals...plugs...fluids!!!...suspension...brakes...fuel pump...TRANSMISSION....hmmm sure there is more but those are the majors (caps lock are the two bigs)
i bought an 88 SPG that still turns over strong and would drive great if the damn thing didn't split where the control arm and subframe meet on pass side due solely to rust...which blew the tripod on inner driver which seized tranny....and upon further inspection discovered that frame is rusting/rotting too badly to fix unless i wanna drop 4grand into redoing and cutting new pieces out/into it (which, i dont). i rushed into the rusted purchase i'd say a bit...i checked the engine and a few other things and figured it was good enough....be thorough.
avoid rust and make sure that either the proper work has been done or be prepared to do it yourself (or have mechanic do it).
and THEN sit back and enjoy your saab!
