I had an '83 turbo, and wound up replacing the cylinder head at around 145,000 miles (less than a year after I bought it!!!). Apparently, 8v heads are prone to cracking when overheated. Also, that car was the only 900 I've owned who's starter motor died (~200,000?). The starter was moved away from the exhaust for the 16v motors.
Other than those incidents, the car was very reliable, and was retired at around 225,000 miles due to rust.
If the car you're looking at is well maintained, you've probably got a keeper.
