It's all statistics and psychology...

When I got my '95 900S four years ago (had 10K mile on it) I was probably just as scared as you are now after lurking on TSN. Well, 60K miles later and all I've had to do is replace the rear muffler (about $150 installed) and fix the seat heater (did it myself).
A forum like this is pretty much designed to bring visability to, and fix, problems with our Saabs. Plus, people will complain much more than let you know when things are going well (when's the last time you called Microsoft and said, "Hey, I just wanted to let you know that my PC hasn't crashed for three days in a row! Thanks a lot"?
Plus, statistically, you should be OK. Even if you figure that the '95 900S had a 20% failure rate (pretty damn high in today's manufacturing environment), you still have a four out of five chance that you will have a reliable car. I remember reading somewhere that the '95 900 had a slightly better than average reliability compared to all other cars in its class for that year.
Enjoy it (I don't have to tell you that 'cause you will anyway).

(Jeez, I hope I didn't jinx myself- better prepare the "Please don't break" dance for the next full moon!)
