... will tell you whether this is a good car or not. Bear in mind that the tops on pre-99 convertibles tend to be somewhat troublesome.
As for the price, Saabs are cheap. We don't like it, but, a Saab's value drops very, very quickly. I don't know why this happens, but, it just kind of does. But, the upside on this is that you can get into one very reasonably and they're a very nice car. If you maintain it carefully, they're very, very reliable, too.
Actually, I just got to thinking about this very recently. I've had my '95 900SE Turbo for almost 2 years. I bought it with about 59k on it for $3200. I've done regular maintenance (oil changes, transmission fluid, filters, brakes, tires, etc.) and I've replaced the lower idler pulley and the battery. That's it. It's been superb! I hop in, turn the key, and go. Pretty much all of my family's Saabs have been like that. Out of the 26 we've had in the last 40 or so years, we've had 2 that weren't so great. One of them was due to very poor care on the part of the prior owner, and the other's problems were blown way out of proportion by the family member who owned it (that was 30 years ago).
So, have it checked out. Try to obtain as many of the maintenance and service records as you can, and if you get a clean bill of health, buy it and enjoy!
