I daily drive an 89T w/~206k miles on it. Last month I drove it 500 miles to British Columbia for a ski trip, then back 500 more. The collapsible portion of the steering column broke but the car otherwise did great (I replaced the column for $8 and a trip to the Pick-and-Pull).
In 2008, my friend and I took an '85 with ~250k miles (original bottom end) from Seattle to and *ON* the Arctic Ocean (frozen at the time), back south to Jasper, then to Seattle, in 11 days, in February. That's the equivalent of driving from Seattle to Miami to Denver, over 5,000 miles. Only problem was a squeaky belt when the temperature dropped.
No reason a well-cared-for Saab can't make a trip of any length, but having the knowledge to work on stuff if things go wrong is certainly very helpful.
