Smoke at Start-up - 2000 9-3

A 2000 9-3 I am considering purchasing emits a small amount of smoke when starting from cold. It's definately smoke, not vapor, and only lasts a few seconds. Car is a lease return that has been sitting idle for a month or so. Dealer (not official Saab, but honest reputation and he specializes in Saabs) attributes this to the storage and he thinks it has something to do with the valve train. He's seen it before, and says it will go away when the car is used regularly. He showed me two 9-5's on the lot and they both did the same thing, but to a lesser degree. Car has 40,000 miles and runs fine. Still under warranty. Any thoughts? I have a 9000 Turbo with 187,000 miles on it, and I've never seen any smoke.
