2004 9-3 Linear, Saab in general

[focusyn]

I've found a 2004 SAAB 9-3 Linear 5 spd with 52k on the clock for 11995. Appears to be very basic, even for the Linear model. It's a little bit far from me just to go and look at. What are some items I should look for in a used Saab that tend to be troublesome. I will be putting quite a few miles on the car initially.

VIN for 9-3 2004:YS3FB45S541002762
