I had a 1996 900S 'vert. Loved the car but it had two top issues:
1 - The bow motors shorted out (supposedly rare and probably due to a dealership bad fix (wires shorted out after insulation worn away by the opening and closing)) - $2800
2 - The tonneau cover motor gear wore because the motor mount flexes (even with TSN installed stiffening kit. This is more common and was fixed by indy shop for $600.
Other issues (I did not experience them, thankfully) -
Clutch cable can break because of failure of plastic adjuster "thingy". Cheap to fix but when the cable breaks, you cannot go.
The serpentine belt can break, once again keeping you stranded. Supposedly, there is "short belt" mod that make it more reliable.
All in all, they are awesome cars but you can use the above information to negotiate a better price.
