Full service history is a bonus. I am a member of the Dutch Saab forum (for my oldies), but there are tons of threads about 9-3 troubles; mainly electric/electronically. Search carefully. There's a Dutch company that rebuilds these cars. Their products look good, but the owner is a pompous person.
I had a 2005 9-3 Aero convertible. Awesome car, although the ride was shockingly hard with the roof up. I drove it with the roof down for the majority of the time.
The elements will never bother a SAAB, they're rock hard. Electrical bits can be tiring, but often a simple fuse pull will solve silly issues.
Get on the forums. The info is priceless and will save you a packet. Get a remap done, which will not only give you masses more shove, but also save fuel.
Parts are everywhere, loads of pattern parts about. There's a huge following for SAABs which will never die.
