may have not been recent, but you never know how it was handles in the early miles in terms of oil changes. in a properly maintained engine (from the beginning), I would tend to say taht it is exceedingly rare for this to happen on a Saab, or any well built car of that mileage. A good example is my 88 that has 330K km on the dial and has been modified with various large turbos boosting to 20+psi... for 200K km of that milage...and i have not had to rebuilt the engine yet.
it is absolutly imparative that you service the oil regularily..and on that used engine, drop the oil pan and make sure there is no sludge blocking the oil pickup screen, which in time will lead to a symptom you decribe.
it is possible that your oil pump failed, dropping pressure, on the pickup screen got clogged. both symptoms of owner abuse (lack of oil changes) your oil light triggers about 5-7psi...typically your pressure when driving is 3-4 times that.
