The newer the better obviously. 94 seems to have most bugs, but most have to do w/ the manual transmission. Given your budget, you'll probably be able to find a 95 or 96 900S auto w/ the 2.3 non-turbo engine. Although it doesn't have the turbo punch, its one of the more reliable configurations for ng 900's. Check records of car to see if idler belt pulleys or engine seals have been replaced - if not, expect to have them done sometime in not too distant future - pulleys not too pricey, engine seals more so. Make sure front end/suspension is checked out and look for oil/coolant leaks. Also, before buying ask around and make sure there is a good independent Saab mechanic in your area - otherwise dealer repairs may make car too pricey to maintain given your budget.
Good luck!
STEVE 95 900s auto (and YES, its been pretty damn reliable!)
