2001 Saab 9.3 AERO B205R common issues ? Please Help

[andykao]

I got my eyes on a nice 2001 9.3 Aero. I love saabs but never owned one.

What are the most common issues i should be looking for?

- electrical stuff (windows, sunroof, seats, etc) ?
- rust in any specific places?
- bushings and stuff?
- engine / gearbox issues?

Any help is appreciated

I personally own a 2001 saab 9-3 convertible, I assume it will have some of the same issues, what I have run into mainly is issues with the car thinking lights are out when they are not and it just annoys you when the car turns on, I'm currently at 100k miles and I haven't really had many mechanical issues beyond a new alternator at 95000, The engine still runs great with no issues I've ever seen, never had any dash lights.
