Vowing to never own another Saab again is really just jumping out of the frying pan, into the fire. Maybe it's stating the obvious, but any car with 190K miles on it, especially of it has an autobox that isn't fairly new, is going to give you some problems, eventually, anyway.
I'd agree that you should see the oil warning light with ignition on, engine off. If I were you, I'd install an oil pressure gauge, or maybe have the oil pressure tested in the shop before doing anything else. As you probably know, the B234 engine isn't prone to oil sludging, but if the previous owner stretched out their oil change intervals, especially if not using synthetic, or if the engine had been over-heated in the past, there could be sludging. Low oil pressure could also be caused by a faulty oil pump. They don't typically fail, but if had been removed and re-installed incorrectly, then it could go belly up. Also, if the cylinder head gasket had ever been replaced, the mechanic would have had to make sure that the camshaft bearing bolts with the oil slot in them were put back in the right place. Just some thoughts. Fortunately, it's from your cousin, so you could find all those things out, probably. Good luck, and let us know how things turn out.
