I purchased it in 1990 with 135,000 miles and drove it for 5 or 6 years until I retired it with 225,000. I might still be driving it now if I had known about saabnet back then.
Mine was a Rose Quartz hatchback with a burgundy cloth interior. Power windows, manual sunroof. "Manhole cover" rims for the summer tires, steel rims (from my previous '80 900GLi) for the winter. It was the first turbo SAAB I ever owned, and was very reliable, with the exception of a cracked cylinder head at 145,000 miles. Make sure that the car you're considering doesn't have any cooling problems- apparently, the 8v heads are more prone to heat damage than 16v heads.
