My first car was a 2001 Saab 9-3 convertible. Many a good times were had cruisin' to the beach with the top down.

Towards the end of it's life I started having some electrical issues. An intermittent short would prevent the car from starting sometimes, and the top sometimes wouldn't go back up.

The most common issue with the first generation 9-3s had to do with the center console display. It was extremely common for the connector between the computer and the display to burn out, which caused pixels to go blank. I'm not sure if this problem carried on to the second generation 9-3s. Ask the previous owner about any problems they faced.
