I bought one with 32K and it was sludged due to the outright negligence of the previous owner (a lease return from Flori-duh). Now there's over 100k on the odometer with a few repairs, some DIY, some at the Saab service center, but otherwise running as well as can be expected.
Also check the rear suspension - does it look too low? Rear tire wear on the inside edges is also an indication of a problem.
I don't want to scare you off of this car, but my 2002 9-3SE has been more reliable than my 2002 9-5 Aero SW, but much less fun to drive. Both my Saabs are 5-sp manuals, FWIW.
