A 1992 9000 CD automatic is quite possibly the least desireable, most expensive to maintain SAAB ever. (All 400 Griffin Edition '92 9000 models are equipped this way...no 5-speeds made). In addition to the usual '92 9000 turbo trouble items, such as DI Cassette, fuel pump, belt tensioner, timing and balance shaft chains, headgasket, turbo, water pump, alternator, heater core, AC compressor, calipers, and TCS (traction control), to name just a few, you also have to deal with the automatic transmission and rear air conditioning.
Top all of this off with the CD sedan bodystyle, which takes away the utility of a 9000 hatchback, and you have one undesireable SAAB. That's just my opinion though. :)
Good luck!
