Price seems high. Edmunds reports that the trade in for a 99 SE is around $5K and the dealer retail is $8K. Get the full records of oil changes. Look at the dipstick and see if there is any evidence gunk on it. No records? and you really like the car otherwise, pay a Saab mechanic to do an inspection and pull the valve cover gasket to look for sludge.
Some trouble areas to look for are:
-Fluid leaks (look at head gasket and other seals closely)
missing pixels in the info display
-squeaky fan motor for climate system
-If a puff of white smoke comes out the tail pipe at startup after the car has sat for a nite, its time for a new turbo
