check all the points others mention and you do want to have a good relationship with a *good* Saab indy mechanic. Even if you DIY, there are times when it's just easier/better/smarter to have someone else do the work.
I have a '96 CSE 5 speed with 160K that I've had for 5.5 years, have put 70K on it. It is the best and most reliable car I've owned. Does everything. Hauls a utility trailer, carries bikes and kayaks and is a great long road car, too. It has needed an AC compressor, heater core, and fuel pump as critical stuff, plus the normal tires, brakes, exhaust, serp belt/pulleys, battery kind things any car needs. My daughter (in Maine) has a '95 CS automatic with the same number of miles and hers (bought it w/ 138K) has been good as well. Both have a few minor "issues" that need addressing, but nothing of importance.
9Ks are great cars that if taken care of can really go the distance. There are fewer and fewer good ones out there for sale, so if you find one it's worth snatching up. The are not the best at any one thing, but do most everything well.
Just check it out carefully before you pull the trigger.
