Thanks for all your posts. Good info (pro and con) for a 9K novice like me. I spoke to the car's owner and will look at it tonight. Apparently it was bought 2.5 yrs ago from a local certified Saab mechanic who did and has done all the service to date. The DI cassette, timing belt, brakes, rotors and pads have all been replaced within 12 months (records should show). Don't know about motor mounts, transmission, or other suspect items.
I also plan to speak to the mechanic and get a deeper history if possible. I like the safety aspect and the cargo capacity here, and love that it's a Saab, but I also know that any eventual repairs will be pricey (thus negating the attractive sales price). We'll see how it performs on a test drive.
Thanks for all your feedback!
