It's a consideration, but overstated to say: "1985 and the first half of 1986 900s had very bad insulation on all the wiring in the cars." I've had an '85 for 11yrs, had interior & dash disassembled at various times down to the bone except for the engine compartment, and the only bad insulation to date is in the hot engine compartment at one diagnostic test plug, the primary to the starter solenoid, and one wire of one large harness connector. See my post below re: intake mannifold removal. It should all be fixed, yeah, and would recommend taking a look at it in A.Berzin's proposed '86, too, but it's not a huge deal/dealbreaker. You'd think cars were exploding the way this gets parroted on TSN.
Regarding seeking simplicity, on the one hand you could stay pretty basic w/ an 8v CIS-injected, non ABS, non airbag saab, but you know I don't hear many electrical complaints on any of them except for brake grounds can get wonky or annoying dash lamps pop out, little stuff.
