Here's a recent thread that you may want to read: http://www.saabnet.com/tsn/bb/900/index.html?bID=133796
I was in your same position last September, when I found a one owner 1989 900S. Several thousand dollars later (approximately $2,200!) the car is probably just as reliable now as it was then (in other words: I wouldn't trust my wife to drive out of town in it). It's been one thing after another.
I sort of agree with the other reply to your post - the car is probably good for another 100K - I would change that to say the engine and the body will be good for another 100K miles. EVERYTHING ELSE (and let me tell you, I know from experience) is subject to having to be repaired or replaced.
I like the 900S - it's a stylish one-of-a-kind ride, but there could be huge costs involved.
You are starting out in a much better position than I did. I paid $2,300 for mine, and you say only $1,000 for yours - so you will be ahead on my expenses right off the bat.
Good luck with the car, and just remember, it's got a lot of miles, and should be treated as such (don't be over realistic on your expectations or you will be disappointed!)
