I think I'd run...not walk from this one.
I can't see how the front feners could be damaged and no mechanical? Surely at that point the rad, intercooler, sub-frame and all that stuff would have to be affected?? I'd shy away from any accidented car. Obviously this guy is making money repairing a car at a lesser cost then an insurance company would think is acceptable.
How you describe the transmission would also worry me...perhaps just a mount, perhaps more. does it jump out of gear? Repairing or replacing is expensive.
Then there are the service records.. Has the oil been changed regularily and with what? How many previous owners? Read up on sludge....1999 was prone.
If you still consider this car, have it checked out by a SAAB indy. They will be able to see from underneath if crucial body sections had been straightened, what the subframe looks like, how are the suspension mounts, etc..
Again, I'd be tempted to pay a few thousand more for a better car. These cars are not cheap to fix and the accident record will always follow along with this car and affect it's resale.
