Viggens use the same ignition system as any '00 and up 9-3.
Throttle Bodies wear and show symptoms before failing, and limp home mode is stalling and poor performance but can get you home, if I'm not mistaken.
New DI isn't a horrible idea, have fiance change it - it's easy.
Upper idler is easy R&R, must be done every 60K to keep serp belt going.
But immediate long trips in a used turbo Saab with unknown history - dicey at best.
Generally with good DIC and solid oil change history, new fluids, good HVAC, any late model Saab would be an excellent choice for long commutes, been there done that.
Best of luck to your future m-i-l.
