For that money you can find a good 9-5 with many years of service left. For a commuter car I suggest a 2002 or later, although earlier cars can be fine if you check them for sludge. A 2002 or later gets you Xenons, a 5-spd automatic and slightly revised suspension.
Linears have weaker turbos (Garret) than Aeros or 4-cyl Arcs (Mitsubishi). Make sure the PCV6 upgrade has been done and check the oil change history.
An $8K 9-5 can be a tremendous value as a commuter car. Just find a good independent who knows Saabs. If you're commute is mostly highway you could find a car with 100,000 miles on it and get another 200,000 out of it.
