Lots of smoke discussions here and on the 9-5 board, just search for smoke (examle link below). Both my 9-3 and my 9-5 put out a bunch of white smoke. disconcerting, but neither burns any oil or loses coolant, so I agreed with most posters and the dealer that it's a combination of moisture in the exhaust coupled with a rich startup mixture that does it.
If it was valve train (oil leakage over the valve seals), it should be blue and smell oily.
For my $$, I'd have the car checked at the Saab dealer @ $100 for peace of mind, and then use the fear, uncertainty, and doubt method to bargain the price down a bit (the indie car dealer seems a little unsettled by the smoke as well)
