Saab 9000 a good buy?

I need a reliable workhorse/load carrier, cheap until I can afford newer. I've seen a tidy Saab 9000 CSI for $1400 NZD. Two owners from new. Worth a punt for a few months? 172k miles

They can be long lived as long as the oil is kept clean and the timing chain is in good shape. Any rattles from that area, run away.
