I just sold my old 86 900s for 2500.00. it was in great shape because I understood that since it was 7 years old(when I bought it) that I would have to do maintenance to it. But owning the title and not having to make monthly payments and no huge insurance payments meant that I could afford 3 to 4 hundred every 2 or three months to keep it in good running condition. If neither of the front doors is working correctly I would question when the front end got hit. if the doors are in proper alignment a little wd40 or maybe adjusting the stop bar is in order. when you change the clutch you need to do the throwout bearing and the master and get the rubber hose in the clutch line changed out to a metal braided line. I got away with doing the clutch every 4 years. a 5 speed tranny is going to go out around 140,000 miles. motor mounts at around the same time. some type of front end problem is goind to show up at 100,000 miles(innerdriver,wheelbearings) my son and I rebuild older SAABs and the first thing we do is scrap the old stereo. you can stay clarion but upgrade to a removable faceplate. if the exterior sheet blew off the sunroof it is because some moron never replaced the screws(6 I think) that hold it to the actual assembly. I will leave you with a fix you can make today. the parking lights on either side of the front grille will fall off around 10 to 15 years. use a small screwdriver and see if you can pry them off. if they come off, clean the fixture and base and use a thin bead of epoxy and put them back on.
