Need advice - buying a '92 9000

I was driving home last weekend and saw this car sitting by the side of the road with a 'For Sale' sign in the window. I pulled a crazy-ivan and nearly caused an accident as I pulled over to check it out. As I stepped out of my vehicle, I was thinking, 'This is the coolest car ever!'.
It's a 1992 Saab 9000 Turbo. 4 door hatchback. 123,000 miles. $2250 or best offer. The body is in really great shape. As with any older car, it's sporting a few 'features'. Such as, but not limited to, dead A/C, missing muffler, and missing antenna.
I stopped by yesterday during lunch to check it out, along with a friend who is a mechanic. We threw some plates on it and took it for a spin. Wow! This thing could really move! Tuesday I'm picking it up to drive it over to my mechanic's shop. He's going to put it up on the lift and give it a thorough inspection.
I wanted to put up a post and see if you had any advice about things to watch out for. How long do the turbos usually last on these things? The guy who is selling it just had the entire clutch redone. Are there any problem areas I should be aware of?
I offered the guy $2000 contingent upon the inspection Tuesday. So, if the inspection goes well, I plan on buying the car. Any feedback would be appreciated.
P.S. I'm in Rochester, NY. Any of you guys from around here?
