1996 Saab 900ES--decent buy or money pit?

I am planning to buy a "commuter car" for my son with a budget of about $5,000. I located a 96 900Es ( turbo 4, 5 spd) that appears to be in fine condition with much recent work done: tires, brakes, clutch, exhaust--a one owner car in very clean condition that has been obviously cared for very well. Mileage is 104,000. Body and interior in very good shape
Here are my questions.
1. Is $5,000 a decent price for a car in good condition? I am buying from dealer whom I know and would stand behind the car for a limited period.
2. Are there any chronic problems with this model? how reliable is the Turbo?
3. what should I look for before buying?
4. Might I expect another 100,000 miles without major problems? or is that unrealistic.
any other advice?
thanks so much!
John
