None of the motors in the NG900's 9-3's or 9-5's are as reliable as the motor in your 1987 900S. The v6 is a good motor. It doesn't have any of the sludge problems the 4cylinders have. It also uses coil packs rather than a troublesome DI cassette. The only thing is that it has a timing belt and tensioner that needs attention every 60k. Replacing the belt and tensioner is harder on the SAAB v6 than most cars, so its important you find someone who knows how to do it properly.
My wife's 1995 900SE v6 just turned 204,000. Its been a very good car, requireing less repairs than any of my previous SAABs. Most of the repairs the car has needed were A/C and suspension related. The 6cyl engine and automatic transmission have really held up well.
