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.
