The auto vs, 5-speed issue has been addressed pretty well by the other responses. Just like to point out that the auto, being a 3-speed, has its limitations. Also, how the auto transmission has been maintained is all important; so don't buy an auto unless there are maintenance records on auto fluid drain/replacement. It should be 8.5 quarts every 30K (which means flushing and total replacement) or 3.5 quarts every 10K (which means partial drain from the drain-plug)
Since you mentioned "80's era" Saab, beware that 85 Saab 900's has this electrical harness insulation rotting issue that is a ton of headacke and expensive to fix.
