Thinking about purchasing a new saab

I have long admired Saab, BMW, Audi, but know nothing about them specifically. I am currently driving a 1992 VW Jetta (a LEMON, from the days when Jettas were assembled in Mexico.)
When the damn Jetta was running well, it was a pleasure to drive.
I believe my transmission is failing, and it simply ain't worth repair costs.
I was looking at a 1996 Saab Convertible, priced at a dealer around $9,980.
Common sense tells me I will have the thing checked out BIG TIME so that I know it isn't a lemon, and make an offer of around $8,000 ish, or just walk away.
A friend of mine was looking at Jettas, and I flat out told her, "If you want a maintenance free car, DO NOT BUY A JETTA. PERIOD." I am wondering if there are any pieces of information I should know when considering the purchase of a Saab. What are the risks?
Can anyone offer advice on the Saab? What are the positives and negatives?
