Saab guru help needed. Looking at buying 9-3 Sport combi

heres the car in question

http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?zip=19464&endYear=2016&modelC ode1=9-3&showcaseOwnerId=578353&startYear=1981&makeCode1= SAAB&searchRadius=25&maxPrice=14000&mmt=[SAAB[9-3[]][]]&listingId=399857937&Log=0

looking for input. from my research the cars seem to be pretty reliable and by 2007 most of the electronic crap has been sorted out. How well do the automatic transmissions hold up? I read somewhere the common issue is water pumps that leak that requires a special tool to replace. Also are there a lot of tuning options out there? The car looks like its in pretty good shape and would easily swallow a mountain bike and a dog in the back.
