One of my friends who works at a SAAB dealer said that they had a lot of troubles with the base 900 and 900S models (especially with the ECUs), but not with the 900Ts. He said that it was like the entire country of Sweden went to sleep that year. He also said that they replaced a lot of 900S transmissions under warranty in '89.
(Sort of makes me glad that the guy I called and called to try to buy his '89 900S never returned my calls.)
I'm having a few more problems with my '89 SPG than I had with my '88 SPG - but I think that some of the troubles were caused by some hard driving and non-dealer maintenance by the previous owner.
That said, I think that an '89 900S that has survived this long has had any troublesome parts replaced and is now onto normal wear-and-tear replacements.
