1999 Saab 9-3 repair Question 4 cyl Automatic 87123 miles

i an thinking of purchasing this car. It is a convertible and believe it is turbocharged. MY main question is if these car are reliable( I have driven toyotas the last few years-which are great). Also, are oil changes accessible, or difficult to get to.
thanks, paul

Oil change very easy to do, these cars r very expensive to own & maintain, engine will last forever with regular oil change service performed, there r in no ways like a toyota, but if u want to buy one make sure u get a good vehicle history report as per engine maintenace, check engine for sludge build up inside engine, # 1 cause for engine failure with these cars & check convertable top hydraulic hoses for peeling & hyd cylinders for leaks, very expensive to repair, GOOD LUCK. Buy a celica or a solara convertable if u really want a convertable.
