If he's mechanically inclined I don't think the Volvo or the Saab should be all that difficult if he uses a manual and a site like this for additional support. For the most part I think a 9000 is a relatively easy car to work on, but the engine compartment is a bit tighter thhan a Volvo's. But then every car has something that is awful to do. FWIW, When we had a Volvo I found parts to be pricey--more so than Saab pieces. Either way, he can learn the value of used parts.
He would probably find the 9K more fun to drive than a Volvo, and the hatchback is very useful.
