You may not want this car, but don't write off salvage title cars. I've had a couple for commuters and have had very good luck. As said earlier, insurance adjusters tend to total out Saabs pretty quickly.
We have a 1995 900S that had front collision above the bumper. It looked like h _ _ _ with smashed hood, grill, fenders, etc. but because it was above the bumper, I knew it was all just body work. Bought it back from insurance company, got it repaired and put another 100,000 miles on it.
Cars are pretty high tech these days, but one old-fashioned test still works: have someone else drive the car and you follow and observe it going down the road. If there are major problems with the integrity of the car, they are usually pretty clear from this perspective.
