i too purchased a 91 900 NA w/ ABS this year - first ABS Saab i've ever owned.

I have yet to see an ABS 900 at the 'yard' in 5 years of visiting it. What worries me is when the pump goes - e Euro has the replacement pump at i think $1,400 USD. Even the 9000 pumps are far less than that.

So, i may be converting my car to conventional braking if and when the pump goes, pilfering the rear brake lines from a parts car as well as the brake booster, etc. i may also be converting the car to turbo at that point, moving down from LH 2.4 to LH 2 by using an 88 turbo parts car of mine.
so, that would be my only concern worth mentioning - the other contributors have focused on the accumulator for your short term worries.

Of course if anyone knows of a more reasonable source for a NEW ABS pump for these cars, i'd love to know it. If my pump went, i would not really be interested in putting a junkyard unit in, as it would most likely have a short life as well.
