What do the folks who did the work on the car say? I'd certainly recommend a pre-purchase inspection, PPI, at your local Saab independent, or better still, the folks who have been maintaining the car so far.
No belts in 4 cylinder Saabs, steel timing chains that normally never require replacement.
You are coming up on 90k at which time a "major" service is recommended, probably $500-700 exclusive of wear items like brakes and tires. Another good reason to take it to the mechanic who's been working on it or ask the BB here who the local independent Saab service folks are.
Good car. $5,000 anything with less than 100k is a steal, and so much the better of itsa' Saab.
