You're probably anxious about the "high" mileage. However, at 95K miles, you need not worry. Like any car, Saabs have wear items. But you don't tend to see the whole car falling apart simultaneously at 120K miles, like with some other brands.
Check out http://www.quasimotors.com to see what kinds of things you need to keep an eye on. You might have some or none of these things happen to you. But having a resource like saabnet allows you to identify and address problems early. My car has about 170K on it, and as long as I keep up with the little things (two or three a year) that go wrong, I continue to enjoy driving the car. So this year it was cleaning the contacts on the window switchpack, replacing the ACC temp sensor fan, and getting the headliner done. Most of this stuff I can do myself, sometimes with help from friends on saabnet. 9000's are not bad to work on, I have found. I think if you keep up with the little problems, you'll enjoy your car for years.
