Considering Viggen Purchase.. Advice, pitfalls....

I am considering a 1999 Viggen with 47K on it. Very close to the warranty limit and the car is being sold by a dealer (not Saab dealer) so I won't be able to quiz the previous owner on its up-keep.
My question is .... are there any signs I should be aware of? Just read about the whine noise for the clutch... any other type of clues or history that has shown itself in the last few years? I have read about the horror of cracking a piston due to 'overboost' and it not being cover in some cases by Saab. Any other costly gremlins to consider???
Also...Any recalls? If I do end up getting this car should I take it immediately to the dealer for a last effort to cover any type of warranty items before 50k?
Thanks for any advise... and I due like hearing both good and bad.
