Hi Andy,
I have had a 98 900SET for two years and 30K miles. Earlier models had problems with seals in the transmission. I had this on my wife's 95 900S convertable. This requires removing the transmission to fix. The 97/98 models switched to larger disks up front and a hydraulic clutch vs the cable in previous years. There seem to many posts on cable problems but the one in my wifes has been problem free for the last two years.
As far as my experience goes the tranny's in both my 95 900S and 98 900SET have been excellent (other than the leaky seal which came with the 900S).
The A/C systems are weak (reliability) on these cars. I have had problems with shrader valves, noisy vibration with compressor running (still not fixed). The pixels on the SID panel disapear, it still works you just can't see everything.
The engines are SAAB solid as long as you change the oil and do the maintenance. The pulleys on the sepantine belt last about 2-3 years before imploding, just listing for the grinding noise to tell you it's time to replace.
Overall the price for parts is about the same as for C900s as long as you buy the parts off the web. SAABSTORY and Trollhatten are the best.
I would say that at this time I am averaging about $100/month for both my SAABs and they are getting up there in miles. Hope this helped.
