Buying a Saab 9-3 - what can go wrong?
A pal of mine is relocating abroad and is selling his 2005 plate Saab 9-3 convertible for £4000. It’s done 75,000 miles, rides extremely tightly for its age and is in pretty good nick for a nine year old
I’ve heard Saab’s can suffer with flywheel problems, what sort of things should I be looking out for as potential risk areas?

If it's a 1.9 diesel don't touch it. If it has SAAB's 2.0 litre petrol engine then could be a good buy.
