there's a pretty good chance a used Saab was traded in on another Saab. I don't want to jinx anything, but of the 3 used Saabs that have been owned by our wider family, 2 were bought at a Saab dealer (where the owner traded it in on a newer Saab), the 3rd was traded in on a Subaru... 2 of them have been flawless (knock on wood)... the other, not so much... you can figure out how those match up and why ;-)!
In general, I do like to find out history + it is unfortunate that dealers try to obscure this (citing privacy! I don't care what the PO's name is, I just want to know when the serp. belt got changed + if the pulleys were done at the same time! and if he did oil changes!! grrr)... a private sale can tell me a lot more, but very few owners I've run into are that on the ball (eg few even have any records)...
