Although it's been heavily modified, it hasn't had even one of the typical Saab 9000 problems.
Some if this depends on if you are doing the work or writing a check. The prices I've shown are parts only.
Lots of potential problems, but in terms of things that will stick you;
1. Serpentine belt, idler pulley, tensioner pulley and tensioner. Under $200 in parts.
2. Water pump - new one is around $100.
3. Fuel Pump - These do go bad, but they are expensive, ~ $400. Usually you can coax them back to life, good enough to get home, by whacking the fuel tank with a rubber mallet. Rubber mallet ~ $10.
4. Lamp Control Relay - new $120 - I always carry a spare.
Things that are likely to go bad but aren't show stoppers;
1. CV boots - messy but easy to change - $50
2. Heater Blower - bit of a hassle to change - $50
3. Motor mounts - easy to change - $30 to $250
4. Clutch - 125 to 150k miles - bit of a hassle to change - $300
Good Luck on the next 100k
