Can you run this by a really experienced mechanic?

I think these cars are really reliable, and will go 400,000 plus miles if you have taken good care of it the whole time. That said, they can be pretty expensive to repair. And neglect of oil can cause sludge and internal engine damage which means serious rebuilding.
If auto, these 'tend' to go at around this age, or 100k. Some have reported 200k, some 40k. The 9-5 auto is supposed to be much stronger, and if you want auto a 2000 9-5 can be had for not much more money.
I wouldn't buy a Saab without running it by a really experienced mechanic. They know the weak spots, and have heard the sounds before.
