Take a look at the used car checklist in the FAQ section of the home page of TSN for starters.
Re the sunroof, ask her if the rear windows operate; the sunroof, rear windows and backup light are all on the same fuse; our our 1994 9000 a faulty backup light switch (mounted on top of the trans) caused the fuse to blow, affecting the sunroof, etc. If by chance the inoperative sunroof on her car is a matter of replacing the backup light switch, that would be a cheap fix.
You may also want to consider asking her to take the car to a local Saab Dealer, or to one of the Chicago independent mechanics, listed under the Mechanics section of the TSN home page, and have them to a pre-purchase inspection for you.
Finally, I would ask the seller to describe what type of maintenance (i.e. frequency of oil changes, etc) she has performed on the car and by whom.
