Peter--
My SEt has 227K on her original headgasket. It's been misting just enough for the past 80K or so to attract dust and cause a stain on the block. I'm taking her off the road this winter (my '94 S is on its way) and we will be upgrading the turbocharger and doing the headgasket, among other things. One thing to look at is the torque of the headbolts--later NGs had a problem with them not being torqued properly and causing premature leaks. This was usually seen in thr '97s and the '98s.
As far as the A/C goes, the system in my Saab has been dry for about three years. The low pressure return line was rubbing against something which caused a hole, which emptied the system. Not a huge problem for me--I could count the number of times I used the A/C on one hand up here in chilly New England. Of course, if you live in Arizona or Florida, that would be a concern! Not cheap to fix, and I think it takes too much power away from the engine. Just my preference.
