Is the Saab 9-3 Aero a good car?

I'm thinking of buying a Saab 9-3 Aero. The car is from 2007 and has 68,000 miles on the clock. It has every extra, including sat nav and leather, and the seller wants £4865. Is it a good buy in your opinion?

If it's a 1.9 diesel, don't waste your time and money. Stay at home. If it has a Saab petrol turbo engine then it could be okay and isn't stupidly priced.

More of the same. Modernised with sharper looks. Quick 2.8 twin-turbo. Strong diesels. Spare parts still readily available.
