As others have said and will tell you, probably the most important thing is to get a car with minimal rust, no rust if possible. As I like to say, with a solid body shell everything else can be repaired. Secondly, a car with a good documented service history is very desirable as you'll know what has been done and what has not and when. A well serviced 900 can have a very long life, a guy in Wisconsin recently clocked a million miles in his '90 SPG. The Classic 900 is also a very DIY-friendly car and most OEM parts are very reasonably priced from the site sponsors.
I lucked out four years ago when I found a 100 percent rustfree '85 900S notchback on the TSN classifieds. It was a one owner car with fully documented service history. It's still my daily driver and has been very reliable, requiring maintenance expected of a 20+ year old car (ball joints, brakes, etc.).
Good luck!
