Bought my first 9000

After reading through all the pros and cons (including the suggestions to buy a Toyota, Honda, Taurus, Sable or the like), I purchased the 96 9000 CS I posted about a few days ago. 140K miles, meticulously maintained by Saab-certified mechanic, new tires, brakes, exhaust, head gasket and more. Still has original DI cassette, which I will have replaced, and original motor mounts, which I will watch. It's an automatic (for daughter), which is potentially worrisome if that ever fails. I plan to follow universally touted annual maintenance recommendations to ensure longevity. Otherwise in as good a shape as can be expected for under $3500.
Minor issues so far: central door locking system is flukey, works sometimes, other times not. Fob activation seems better than central console, which rarely works. Still trying to figure this one out. Also have broken headlight wiper arm, which thesaabsite.com has in stock.
Thanks for all your input - this is a great board!
