SID - pixels - have them all working
The manual HVAC controls sometimes bind, ACC a little more robust, and can be self tested (AUTO&OFF).
I'd have a Saab indy do a pre-purchase inspection for you.
The T-7 is a superior engine management system but the Throttle Body has become a wear item. Hae indy shut all the annoying beeps and chirps off while checking for codes? :)
Make sure the parking brake functions and doesn't bind, minor thing but mine requires nearly annual service (not sure your climate).
Oil change interval & type are critical. You're running a mature model so you must appreciate various fluid changes etc.
Upper iddler pulley is a 60K item.
You may check for leaks in the rear, tailights (aging gaskets) and shock towers can be water entry points.
Saab didn't manage to utilize all available cargo space in the rear
but it still hauls a load.
