Saab Mystique?

I bought my 87 Saab 900 back in May for economic purposes. I had taken a job as a Life Insurance Agent in a territory over an hour’s drive from home. I had been driving my 72 Buick GS Convertible during my training period, and the gas prices were KILLING me, ghaving to fill up twice a day, when gas was at its highest price I had ever seen.
I purchased my Saab through a guy who had it on the Yahoo classifieds. I saw, in his trunk on a 4 sale sign, that his original asking price was $2000. I offered $1050, he said “sold” .Now, it seems people have a different attitude towards me in this car. My neighbors & others think I am rich. Keep in mind this is an 87 model, but in excellent shape, with 94,000 original miles. People want to charge WAY TOO much to service it, if they will touch it at all. Folks on the highway want to race me all the time. Mine is a 8v n/a, and although it handles like a European sports car, once it gets rolling, it accelerates like a dry snail. The original sticker price was about $14,000, certainly not a rich man’s car, but I notice the Turbo convertible of the same year was almost double the price. My question is.. When did the entire Saab line prices go up to get close to the turbo prices?
