When my '86 classic reached about 250,000 miles a couple of year ago I decided I needed a replacement so I got a '98 900 SE 3 door 5 speed.
The '98 is gorgeous! No significant problems at 49,670 miles - handles very like a dream - definitely "tighter" than my '86 BUT . . .
I'm paying $400 a month for a new car that I really didn't need! During the last two years I've put 33k on the new Saab - but I've put 47k on the '86 during the same time period! - and I've spent less on the old Saab to keep it on the road.
If I were to do it again, I'd put the payment in a savings account and drive the old Saab until it died - my guess is that it will make 400,000 miles - or more.
If you go for a new one - go '98 or later - hydraulic clutch :-)
