That A/C problem could easily escalate into a $1000 repair (if the compressor is bad, which is pretty common). Frankly, I'd look for a good used Camry. Saabs are a bit demanding on maintenance, and I'm not sure a 9000 is a good choice as a first car (they are quite expensive to repair, particularly if the work is not done by the owner). See the link below, and bear in mind that my chart tends to be a worst-case analysis. Then again, it's generally accepted as a fair assessment of 9000 trouble spots. I love my 9000, and in general I recommend them highly, but it does depend on the prospective owner's situation.
