How reliable is 2003 saab 9-3 linear?

I am just recently purchasing a 2003 saab 9-3 linear with 88.5k miles.

I know saabs have their problems but most of the common ones have been worked out of this car already.

What i'm asking is do you know anyone who owns this car (specifically year 2003 please) and how reliable was it?? How many miles should i expect to get out of this car???

    It is a GM/SAAB hybrid (not the green kind). SAAB's heads are problematic according to my machine shop friend. They use a lost foam casting process, as does Saturn; he sees lot's of both.

    very reliable

    you should expect another 130K miles to go on it with not much problem
