Maybe sharing the highlights of the stories you heard would help us address your specific concerns?
This forum is a pretty good cross section of 9^5 owners. Take a look around it. You'll see that most of what is discussed here either falls into wear items (brakes, wipers, tires) or upgrades (tires, radio, etc.) So far Saab has been quite good about correcting problems (SIDs for example). Many bb contributors have gone past the factory warranty. If these were problematic cars, this group would not be so quiet...search for DI, oil or 4 vs 6 cyl to see what I mean. Someone asked why not to buy the `99 9^5 recently. The link is below. You can see what the board came up with as to why not.
Nobody can decide for you. In used cars though (& I'm in with you) it all comes down to maintenance history and how it drives. Like the car but still uncomfortable about Saab-GM? There is always an extended warranty.
Best deciding to you....I looked at Volvo too. It was a tough decision.
