Find a local independent Saab mechanic, if you like the car bring it in for a once over, usually cost about an hour shop time.
I'd like to see records of 5K sythetic oil changes, and that fluids were serviced every few years.
If you get it come back here and find out what to replace to minimize problems down the road.
Issues to be aware of:
Headbolts loose from factory, any headgasket issues?
SID display losing pixels, can be fixed but adjust the price
Execute a self test on Auto Climate Control unit, not sure but press Auto-Off together? should run thru a diag and display '0' for '0 faults'.
It's a great car. Don't be afraid to pass on one that hasn't been properly maintained. Turbos are hard on engine oil.
