Need advice of fellow Saabers

I have a 1989 900-n/a with 118,000 and auto trans. The car runs fine and I only need it for work putting roughly 6,000 miles on it per year. Of course, I fear the transmission could go out any freaking day with what I've read about Saabs infamous 3 speed automatic tranny. Now, here's the catch....a colleague at work is selling his 1986 Audi 4000 Quattro 5cyl. 5sp. manual w/127,000 miles. This car is in better condition than my Saab but needs the TLC(tune-up, tires, alignment, etc..) that I've given my Saab since I purchased it for $1,200 a year ago. The co-worker is willing to sell the Audi to me for $700.
So....my dilemma is as follows: Do I keep the Saab and have the tranny go in the next 6 mos. which I will then probably junk the car OR do I buy the Audi?
All advice welcome.
TIA
