I have 4 verts. They tend to harbor water more than the other saabs.. You know where to check the frame for rust and fenders. Look under the back seat. That sometimes tells you the drains aren't open and it can get into the electrical stuff under the rear seat. Check carpets for moisture, If able pull up the sde rail and feel under carpet. Due to plastic backing on carpet the water can be beneath the carpet and not feel wet on top of it. Check the latches where they lock top down to windshield. I am sure you will get more info and I will likely have forgotten as in a rush. Frayed tops are a sure sign you will have a $1,000 -$1500 cash outlay in about 2-3 years. Depending on year and type trans, get a good service record if you can. Look for rear window fabric seperation, the rear windows are at least $350 and they can't well be reattached when seperated, although there are some proposed fixes none are like factory. Good hunting.
