I have a 97 900s, second owner. Bought car w/30,000 miles. 1st owner from south, all highway miles, kept service records. Myself, live in city, car has 91,000 miles. Car is very well maitained. Just replaced the clutch 2,000 miles ago. More for preventive measures than anything. Signs were starting to show.
Saabs are great cars that could be at times tempermental. Because of bad design, pay close attention to clutch around 90 to 100,000. Also consider driving factors, highway vs. city.
1997 seems to be a good year for the ng Saabs. Assuming it's a non-turbo (900s) you don't have to worry about bad DIC, or turbo failure, could be expensive. Flipside... it's not a turbo.
If well maintained, w/help from the great people of this board, car will last for long time.
Good luck,
Glenn.
