Will this ever be a classic / collectible?

In my opinion, No, it's kind of past the era of SAAB SAABs.
It has way too many miles on it to be a collectable, just enjoy it

Doubtful for a Saab.
Collectible? probably not. Niche appeal? Certainly. Now if it was a '99 Viggen, maybe.
Collectable minus value. Exception might be the Saab version of the SS Trailblazer based on rarity.
You would be surprised at how many cars of that vintage have under 10k miles on them for whatever reason. That Saab at 70+k miles is a special interest car, but not a collectable.
The 9-7, I owned one (I was a SAAB guy, had a 9-3 conv, and the dealer was close). Very little good to say about it.....
And it was the only Saab to ever be built in the USA as well
These are original 1 owner miles. No restoration, rebuilds etc. Very desirable to somehow who appreciates them.
Check out Bring a Trailer sometime. Many collector/ special interest cars have that mileage.
As far as what it is exactly, I’m not really sure, but the mileage certainly isn’t a deal breaker.
Here's a 1996 convertible. Maybe I should invest?

Collectible? Sure, they already are now. Valuable? No, at least not right now when nice examples are $2000-$3000. Maybe in 50 years.
Boy, if I knew which cars were going to become collectibles, I would become a very rich man! Truth is, almost no cars become collectable. Cool old cars, sure. But not valuable.
Quirky fun cars for sure but most later models are not quite collectable yet. I have two and like to work on Saabs except the Subisaabs and the rebadged GM CUV , one is a Viggen and the other an SE, the Viggen can be considered a classic and no doubt a collectable. These are collectable.
