Buying a 1990 9000S auto - Are we crazy?

With a '97 9000CS in the garage and a '99 9-3SE on its way, we're now thinking about a '90 9000S. We bought a '91 Alfa 164L as our spare car last spring, to be used by an au pair after our daughter was born; but we like the Alfa so much, we're having trouble with the idea of handing it over to a teenager with no US driving experience. Hence the idea of putting the Alfa in storage for a few years and getting a more replaceable, but still quality, vehicle. Roberti has this 9000S (automatic, with 157,000 miles). The salesman says it's a clean car, and it will be getting a new head gasket very soon. Price is $2500. So are we nuts? We'd like the car to last 3-5 years and not be a constant headache (we're willing to put the effort into maintaining it). Having no experience with Saabs of this vintage, we're not sure what we're getting into. I've read the Quasi site comments on the automatic, but that's what we want for this car. If it's made it 157k and actually is checked out okay by an independent mechanic, is this a reasonable bet?
