Saab's clutch line fails at around 100K with amazing regularity. If it looks suspect, take the line to a hydraulic shop for them to replace the flexible portion with a better quality hose for 1/2 the price.
All the belts, idler pulleys, high-temperature hoses, should be checked.
All the vacuum lines should be checked.
All the hose clamps should be checked for tightness.
All fluids should be changed, oil, coolant, brake/clutch fluid, PS fluid, etc.
If your car is an automatic, check the condition of the transmission fluid. If it is dark, get it flushed. If it looks clean, drain from the pan (getting about 35% out of it) top up; then do it every 10K. This is the single most important fluid to keep fresh and clean.
All the other wear-items should be checked, brakes, engine mounts, transmission mount, etc.
Everything can be replaced rather inexpensivel if you are a DIYer. I'd just do them.
