The eBay car looks a bit rough to me. The front air dam is as bad as any I've seen... worse than mine which has 140,000 miles on it. There's a bad scratch on the hood, and another crease across the top of what appears to be the left front fender. Also paint coming off the hatch right above the "9-3" insignia, visible in the several of the photos shot from the back. He talks about a dime-size (to me, that's quite large) ding in the driver's door, but doesn't show a close-up of that one.
He mentions that the plastic cover for the jack point is missing on one side. The round cover for the tow hook in the front bumper cover also appears to be gone. And the battery cover is missing. (Many people remove them if they put in a slightly different size battery.)
Taken all together, those problems, uncorrected, might point to a careless previous owner.
For my money, I'd take the 2001 5-door from the Saabnet classifieds with 75,000 miles for $14,500, or, better yet, the 2000 5-door with 103,000 miles for $10,500. Maybe those owners are getting hungry, who knows. In any case, I'm partial to the 5-door cars myself.
Best regards,
Dave
