Thinking of '89 SPG Purchase - Need help

Hello,
I am new to this board (actually a cross-over from the 9³ board) so please excuse my ignorance on issues with the classic 900. I am thinking of purchasing an '89 SPG. The car seems to be in great shape and the owner has had plenty of quality work done. Before making up my mind, I have a few questions: 1) My parents used to have an '85 900Turbo. If I remember correctly, the turbo was cooled or lubed with engine oil so you always had to sit and wait for a while before turning the car off. Would this also be the case in an '89 SPG? 2)This car would be my daily runner to work and back etc. I live in WI so as you can imagine our winters can be troublesome. Do you see this as a major issue with an SPG? 3)What are some of the big-time "gotcha's" with this model and year?
Thanks in advance,
Scott
