Overheating

Hello, all. I'm a new addition to this listing, and a mere liason for my
mother. She just bought a used SAAB and has already run into some
overheating troubles... her words are the following:

'the temperature gauge shows very hi when I do city driving, even for 5
miles going to work. Whereas freeway driving, the temp. is much cooler. On
a very hot day, I could not start my car after 8 hours under the 100F
boiling weather. The fan does not keep on going when I shut off the
engine..'

Apparently, all fluids have been checked. I dont know how this car works
(looked no39sdcx6spamx782 it once for about 10 seconds), but my car (1980 bmw 320i) does
the same b/c the external blower on the radiator doesn't blow anymore. I'm
not sure if this car is designed similarly. Also.. she sent me this 'from
SAAB Dealer: starter & positive battery cable + initi. ? time = $800' and
was wondering if this is reasonable. She is in the SF Bay Area if anyone
can suggest a reliable and cost-effective mechanic. We both thak you for
your patience and thank you in advance for all help. Cheers.

Henry
