finally getting a turbo

After owning two slow but steady normally aspirated 1984 900 S chariots, I'm looking forward to finally picking up siver 1985 900 turbo 8v this weekend. It has around 220K, but has been owned by a single owner since 1986, and always serviced by a reputable local Saab mechanic/enthusiast who says it's pretty solid all around. It doesn't have plates, so I could only take it out on small side roads (my first experience driving a turbo Saab), but it does indeed seem mechanically sound -- engine, transmission, and suspension. It's got a little rust around the right rear fender, and the hood hinge is broken (you can still open it, with a little effort and care), but that's about it for problems. Price: $500.
Stoked, and looking forward to getting it on the open road!
