Default 1997 Saab 900 s Convertible for $2000 w/ 134xxx miles, is it a good buy?

Should I purchase a '97 Saab 900 s convertible at $2,000 with 134XXX miles on it?
I have test drove the vehicle. Liked the drive, felt safe and it hugged the road. All lights, signals, and console units functioned properly. I took the car on the highway and drove 80mph seamlessly let go of the wheel and the alignment was good. Car suprised me with the acceleration and the steadiness of the car, it didn't even feel like I was going 80mph! I just need to know what other Saab owners think about this vehicle and any suggestions on maintenance and repairs initially after I purchase the vehicle? Any help would be great as this is my first vehicle purchase on my own......thanks in advance
