Everyone I know with an 86 saab loves it. Seems that for that year Saab really got the car right. On the other hand, 88- have better brakes. Across the board the trans seems to be the achilles heal. My 91 has been good to me and the previous owner, but the trans did start to go this summer. 91-93 naturally aspirated motors (2.1 liter) have problematic head gaskets which give up usually before 100K miles. 85 has wiring problems. I had a 1980 which gave very few problems over 30K miles, but thats probably older than you want.
