Re: 900 5-Speed Popping out of Gear- easy fix?

Thanks for all the feedback- looking at the CarFax the car was in a collision at one point although there appeared to only be dents on the hood and a bit on the door. That probably explains the airbag issues- maybe new sensors needed? It was declared a total insurance loss although the title seems clean. As for the transmission it did feel a little rubbery. I'm thinking maybe I should hold off on the vehicle although the price seemed pretty good and the motor seemed ok. I have to say though- test driving that car even with the issues was a reminder of what a solid and amazing vehicle the classic 900 turbo is.
Issues I'd need to fix if I bought it:
- Suspension (not clear what but needs work)
- Alignment (steering wouldn't center)
- Dent in hood
- Dent in door
- Might need new catalytic converter
- 4th gear/gearbox issue. Clutch wasn't slipping though.
- New roof- old one has a lot of holes and seems a little leaky
Any idea what a 900 Turbo convertible with those issues should go for and even roughly what they'd cost to address? The motor seemed ok, interior was clean, dash only had one small crack and there was very little rust but I'm feeling as though it might be too much of a project. I'm really new at this so I don't want to make a wrong move.
