I believe Sri said this had a rebuilt box. I'd certainly take a rebuilt 87 over an unknown later one. There are a lot of comments on the later trans being better on this board. CMyles comments are more even in that reguard. He seems to think the larger pinion bearing in the 89-94 boxes aren't all that much of a benefit. A 87 trans with new bearings should be good for 150K. An old time Saab mechanic here preferred the 80's trans because the synchos were much less problematic. If it's overall a nice car i'd think it's worth dealing with the older brakes. I never had a problem with them but I slapped rebuild kits in all my front calipers. Calif tends to be quite a bit easier on that stuff. I've never had a problem getting 16 valve engine to pass smog testing. It's usually something small like the the little rubber hose that connects the vacuum line to the charcoal canister
