The transmissions (whether automatic or manual) are the weak links in high mileage Saabs. Other than that a 1991 900S is probably pretty reliable. Rust should be obvious, (if you're in the Midwest or Northeast) but look carefully. I just bought a 1993 900S for my teenager to drive (to keep him away from my 1988 Turbo Convertible!) and I knew the mechanic who had maintained it, so I had a preliminary report on its condition. It might be worth paying for a mechanic to have a look. Personally, I'm really comfortable with the Saab 900, having owned at least one since 1981. While 100,000 miles on a Saab wouldn't bother me (I bought one 900 S at 210,000 miles) there are many other cars where I'd have my doubts.
