i have one 283K...euro lamps, my high compression turbo motor!!! Love the pre 87 look.
Issues; Transmission...must NOT whine,(do not confuse with normal primary gear chain whine). Wiring harness in hot areas of engine bay. Front brake calipers...clunk going backwards? You can live with this, but replacement is kinda inevitable. Rust...inner driver apertures...get under and look VERY carefully for rot here....it's terminal, easily concealed and common on all 900s.
Now the price....well...if nothing is glaring at you, I would base my $$$descision on the bodywork. You state the interior is shabby...that's $$$ right there. TOPS for this car as described...$5-700.
Lotsa luck!
