I have a 1987 9000 with 218K miles. When I bought it, the original owner skimped on maintenance. I spent considerable effort on making things right. It has never let me down, but I did spend a fair amount up front. Since that time, it has been tune ups and very minor expenses. Compared with Japanese options, parts prices are not that much different.
The older 9000 models, if well maintained, are cheap to acquire and a good bet. My car has no ABS or DI cassette. A plus. It is now my second car as it made no sense to sell it for cheap.
I have a newer Saab 900 as my primary car as I could not locate a local late model 9000 in decent shape/decent price. After purchasing this car, I did find a 1988 9000S 5 speed with low miles and all current maintenance for $1200. Ouch. Timing and luck.
