I had an '86 8-valve and drove a friend's '85 8-valve for a week or so. I really liked driving both of them.
The 16-valve has better low end, so leaving a stop light in an 8-valve is a somewhat more leisurely experience. However, when you get it up to speed, they drive well and exhibit all of the good SAAB handling characteristics.
One of the things that has been posted from time to time is that the 8-valve heads are prone to cracking. I can't speak to this from personal experience.
If money is a problem, but you want to get another SAAB and are comfortable with the limitations, an 8-valve is a good thing to get. Provided all else checks out OK.
