I've lucked out with my 88 9000 being garage kept by the PO for the winter for 10 years in Ontario. I have it on hte West coast of Canada and I kid you not, the paint looks brand new...with exception to little chips. The dash looks new, the dash facia is shiny black, the carpet on the self behind the rear seats is original unfaded wine color, and hte trim is dark and shiny, as to are the bumpers...non of this sun fade that a couple of my good friend in central California have on their Saabs. 'Wear' looks about 5-10 years old, 300k/km. But there were quite a few leaks and cooling issues when i bought it from all the garage sleeping. I have rectified this since though.
there is something to be said about (real) low midday sun in the winter up here, and hot weather for maybe a month a year;-)
