Well, three years ago I bought an 00 9-3 with <30K, just off lease and no service records from a non-Saab dealer. No major problems to date (except DI replacement). Maybe I'm just lucky.
But now an 00 car is six or so years old, and sounds like you're not being offered any history. Is the dealer even willing to tell you where it came from?
Would the private seller let you talk to his indy about the car? A good report from that source would incline me towards saving $3K.
HTH.
