Thanks for > your help I have an '87 900 16-valve (not turbo) with less miles. It's a good car, but I've had to do continuous repairs on it to keep it running (which is normal with an eleven year-old car!). I strongly suggest you find a reputable Saab mechanic and get it checked out before you buy it. Some turbo drivers abuse their cars, and even though Saab probably has to most reliable turbo made, you could have problems. It's worth the cost of the check-up to know what you're getting into.
