thinking of buying my first 900 . . .

I've loved Saabs since I was 14, and now at 32 I'm thinking of finally taking the plunge and buying an '84-'92 900 Turbo. Given their age category, just about anything I find is going to be over 100K miles. What are some things I need to look for? What may I need to replace right away in order to prevent disaster? I've heard bad things about Saabs electrical systems and problems with the turbos. Up until now I've only owned domestic and japanese vehicles (and one VW). Are the repair costs on Saabs as outrageous as I've heard? I've loved these cars for so long, I don't want to regret my first purchase. Any advice from you vets out there would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help!
