'83 900T - Killer car. Mine has (estimated) a hair over 300K on the clock. Although I am putting a new head gasket on it (mainly for preventative reasons) it ran great all summer. Although with K-Jet and APC it is loooow tech comapred to my housemate's 9-5 Aero, or any new Saab, mine is still pretty peppy, (when the boost arrives), has a great roadfeel, eats highway miles like a champ and averaged ~24 MPG. The window switches on the dash are very cool. The old style grill and headlight assembly looks much more aggressive and slightly more sinister then the post 86 style too. On any car that age, it is a good idea to look into replacing the suspension bushings and motor mounts. Although you should do them on each side, it usually the ones on the passenger side that get your attention, as the heat from the turbo destroys them and gives you sloppy A-Arms.
Good luck
