97' 9000 CSE

I am in imminent danger of purchasing a 97' CSE 5 speed with 60k miles. This could be the fulfillment of many years of lusting after Saabs, but I have never previously owned one. The car was a company car, and had all scheduled maintanence by a dealer, and was detailed about once a month. It apparently required some work on the transmission while still under warranty--the owner couldn't provide alot of specifics but stated there had been a problem woth 3rd gear. No other major reapirs, except the audio system was replaced due to a persistent buzzing and the front seats were re-upholstered after some leather treatment the detailer used caused cracking. I am planning on having an indepedent shop do a buyer's check prior to purchase.
I would very much appreciate advice regarding any special issues to check into prior to buying this vehicle. It drives great--super smooth and quick. The only problems I have identified are a loud ventilation fan (a particular issue as I am in the southwest) and a slightly gooey feel to the shift action (not as crisp as I would have anticipated)
Thanks in advance for any responses!
