Some people really don't find the automatic very reliable, I have had 5 SAAB's and all were manual, exept the current 95 9000 CSET that I have now. The automatic has been by far the most reliable of them all. I have 188,000 on the original tranny and it operates the same as when the car was purchased with 13,000 mi. You said you counted several times to make sure yours went through all THREE gears. Thats a HUGE problem as these transmitions have FOUR gears, and if you only counted 3 several times, this means that the car is probably starting in 2nd, or, not upshifting to the 4th gear. If your VERY serious about this car, plan on either replacing the trans, VERY EXPENSIVE, or all it may need are governor seals, and/or internal springs which are not as bad. Either way plan on dropping some dough just to diagnos what it needs. If this thing is only operating with three gears, in my opinion, I definatly pass it up.
