You sound like you have gotten under the hood a bit. Most of the work is filters; oil, fuel, gas, cabin ventilation, and fluids; flush brake and clutch, radiator, oil, ps, may want to drain tranny too if your year allows. Plugs (BCPR7ES only!), serpentine belt. I would pay to have alignment, bushings and other steering/suspension checked by Saab mechanic. This could be part of your pre purchase inspection. Also lubing doors, etc.
Have you been turned on to Quasi's site yet? Treasure trove of info for maintaining 9k, and what to look for in purchasing. Sorry don't remember website. Can be found under FAQ of this website, or with a search of this board.
115k mi may be about time for a new clutch, have to drop tranny, and costs about $1500. You can save tremendous amounts of money by doing the easy work on this car, and utilizing the experience of the people on this board. Also by shopping at the sponsors. But you likely know that already with a 900...Good luck!
