Possibly buying a '88 900 Conv...advice?

All,
Former Saab owner thinking of coming back to the fold...had NG900s, 9-5s, 9000s...this will be my first potential dip into the Classic 900 pool.
Looking at an '88 convertible. In decent shape, but there are two issues:
1. Upper control arms need to be replaced. The passenger side one is particularly rusty.
2. Manual tranny is whining. Had a master tech look at it- he said it's going, but not gone yet.
Asking price is $2,900. 130,000ish miles. No other major problems (outside of regular age and upkeep maintenance that needs to occur). Would you run from this car? I do know the upper control arms aren't cheap...the tech I talked to told me to budget $1,000 for them.
Your thoughts are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
