I purchased a used 97 900 SE with 52,000 Kilometer this past fall and this is what I've done.
1. Test drove it in day light (3timeS) and at night, with a salesman and without (2nd time he found it dangerous so he handed me the key).
2. Had it checked by 2 qualified "Saab" mechanics and got a detailed report on everything. They both gave it an A+ except the tires were getting out of round. (they were the wrong size for the rim and wrong diameter). The exhaust was nearing the end of its life.
3. brought my friend along for a test drive and got his opinion especially sitting in the back seat. I liked what I heard.
knowing all that I went back to the dealer and was able to bring down their price by a considerable amount. Up until this day I have 0 complaint about it. I like it alot (even better than my late 9000CD).
Good luck.
Pierre
