94 900s...to buy or not to buy?

Hi everyone. Today I hit a dumptruck with my 245k mile 86 9Kt. Immediately went car shopping, and by pure luck, came across a 94 900s with 144,000 miles. It is a 5 speed with a cloth interior, sunroof, 2.3l engine, power windows, and a K&N air filter. The body is very clean and straight. It has steel wheels with hubcaps. The asking price is $3995. I have owned plenty of saabs, but never a newer style. Is there anything I should look out for like the old 900's? I noticed that it had a regular old ignition system with cap/rotor/wires etc., whereas I was expecting to see some sort of direct ignition set up. Do these cars have the same transmission maladies that the OG900's are known for? Vacuum problems? It has 4 brand new tires. The only thing that worries me is the K&N air filter (I like the filter, but I worry about the possibility of the 16 year old who beat it to death trying to make it faster). The hose where the filter connects is mummified in electrical tape, as if it doesn't fit right, or maybe the hose is cracked. Also, the shift boot and shifter are cracked and mummified in electrical tape. Other than those small cosmetic problems, does this sound like a fair price? Is the pinion bearing going to go bad in 5,000 miles? Any and all information will be greatly appreciated. TIA, Matt
