They're good cars, but I am biased

The 900/9-3 is a pretty good car, and your record aside the insurance is pretty resonable. It will rattle a little more than a sedan, but the ammount of flex and noise won't increase that much as time goes on. Sure fixing Saabs is expensive, but you've already found this website and they have a list of independant (non-dealer) mechanics which will be a huge help. That's the down side, the up side is that you'll have blast driving it, even an automatic. It's a good transmission and sport mode is _almost_ as fast as a 5-speeed.
There are two main "trim levels" for '97 S and SE, options vary, but these are the major differences IIRC
S: Basic model, non-turbo 2.3L, cloth seats, manual climate control (which I like more BTW)
SE: Turbo 2.0L, Leather, automatic climate control, fog lights, sportier suspension
Good luck with your purchase!
