The V6 engines are largely regarded as junk, I would strongly suggest
walking away from that car, find one with the Saab turbo 4 instead as
it's a much better motor than the GM sourced V6.

I have a 1994 NG900 with the V6.  I am selling the car because of the
V6. Let count the reasons:
1. Timing belt either breaks or slips out of time - must replace before
30,000 mile or when it slips.  If you don't you will need a new head
shortly as well as a new timing belt.
2. AC tubing - there is one long piece that rubs on the engine.  It
develops a leak and is a major pain and expense to replace.
3. V6 design has flexible (read breaks from flexing) exhaust Y pipe -
not expensive, but a poor design.
4. Oil cooler in built into the water jacket on top of the engine - a
pain to replace and if it leaks . . .
5. Spark plug placement - major pain to reach the back 3, but not unique
to Saab - common to GM engines, which this is . . .
6. DI Cassettes - two of them - twice the fun
7. Rough idle which could never be fixed - learn to live with it
8. Oil leaks . . . .

Non engine issues:
1. Automatic transmission has electrical issues - expensive control unit
2. AC control panel and AC air flow motor are common failures - and not
inexpensive
3. Ignition switch fails - car act as if it was just turned off - more
fun at night on the highway (no lights)
4. Water collects on the hatchback, so when you open the hatch the water
drips into the trunk

PROs
If you enjoy working on the engine, this is the car for you.  All of the
mechanical issues can be handled by frequent maintenance. If you do the
labor yourself, it would not be terribly expensive to own.  I had a Ford
 when I was younger.  I learned alot, out of necessity, about how to
fix a car and diagnose electrical problems.  It was fun back then, but
not now when I am older.  The car does have very good seats and a
reasonable suspension - better than a Camry but it is not remotely close
to an SPG. With the manual transmission, this could be a fun car, as
long as you can handle the engine issues.  I have a spare headlight
wiper, four snow tires on steel rims, and roof racks  for this car, if
you are interested. For a steal you could buy my car as well and use it
as a parts car.  Pull the engine so you have a ready replacement for
yours when you need it. It also has many new parts: AC control unit, AC
tubing, head, ignition switch, battery cables, battery, cruise control,
brake switch etc.

I have a 1995 900S 2.3L 4-cyl, non-turbo, standard. I've owned it since new,
and it's now got 135k on it. The best car I've ever owned; my Toyotas and my
Acura were rusted far beyond repair long before 10 years in New England.
Maybe a few more minor mechanical issues in the Saab, but nothing major, and
it doesn't feel like a P.O.S. after a few years.

I'd avoid the V-6 like the plague based on what I've read about it since it
first came out. Look for a 4-cyl, get a turbo if you want more fun from the
"GO" pedal. I find the non-turbo adequate, but certainly would have opted
for the turbo if money wasn't such a consideration when I bought it. (and
still is) I've done all my own work, and never had to touch the engine,
clutch, or transmission on this car, except for normal maintainence items. I
drive it hard and maintain it accordingly. You can change the air filter,
dist. cap/rotor, and spark plugs in about 30 minutes total, and not even get
dirty.

Con: V6 engines a dog.  '95 has cable operated clutch probe to fail.

Pros:  Find a '98 or later 4 cylinder

To quote our Saab mechanic of 15 years,
"well yes, of course I'll work on it, after all it's your money, but I'd
still advise against it. If you're going for the GM, buy a 4, preferably a
turbo, but better still buy a low mileage 9000 Anniversary."

He listed timing belt & head problems, plus excessive tyre and front end
wear as common enough problems to be considered normal, so we didn't buy
it. Immaculate car though! Cheers
