With the 4 cyl, confirm the PCV#6 update was installed, and ensure regular oil changes, using full synthetic, every 5-7k miles, as engine sludge is the big concern with older versions of this model.
Big ticket items that may pop up would between 100 and 200k miles include the turbo (non-aero versions), and the fuel pump as well..
Other random things.. check if the DIC Cassette was replaced. CPS and coolant sensors are known to fail after 100k. Bypass coolant valve is pretty certain to fail if it hasn't been replaced already..
Oil seepage is common on older Saabs.. but not a worry.. as seals get old. Shock/struts start showing their age.. as with any car after 100k...
Might be worth it to have mechanic check it over as well..
Good luck.. let us know what happens
Mike
