for sale by "used car lot" dealer...

is probably not the best way to find one... especially cheap. Private sale eg using this BB's classifieds or local classifieds or sale from a saab independent mechanic/dealer is probably the best bet at this age. Don't get me wrong, I bought our 9-5 at a generic lot (after carefully looking it over mechanically), but those places are getting cars that were traded in elsewhere, and mostly that's because not all was right and the owner gave up, and who knows what the generic dealer did to fix it up for sale... the connection with the former owner or their mechanic is valuable for these older cars...
I did a quick search locally and there are half a dozen verts listed here in the last month ranging from $800 ("needs starter + battery" and probably lots more) to $7500 ("stage 4" etc, hopefully needing little at all)... and everything in between (including a nice looking reasonably priced turbo/stick)... a few turbo hatchbacks also...
meeting the owner (or the mechanic) will give you a better feel for how it's been treated...
good luck!
