I bought my 1988 900S a year and a half ago, and drove it until the inspection ran out... now I have to get the rear brakes completely replaced, and have gotten quotes for more than I paid for the car (I got an incredibly sweet deal for it). I am so bummed that I can't afford to get it back on the road. It has been sitting in the garage for about six months now, and about once every two weeks I go down and run it around the block and let it run for a while - well, last week I went down and the new battery was drained. I charged the battery, and the car would run with a constant surging, and then it stopped. And the battery was dead again... alternator? I am so bummed - it has 149k miles and is in beautiful shape! I am very seriously considering selling it, but need to get at least what I paid for it back - any suggestions?
