Saab 900 abuse

I went to look at a 1990 'vert turbo selling for $1400 yesterday. It was not bad looking (a small dent, a little minor rust, could use a new passenger seat). It started right up and drove well except for no power steering. Amazing acceleration! Top was in great shape and worked fine. After a half hour test drive, I popped the hood and look at the fluids - Oil, black and 1.5 quarts down, coolant reservoir, empty except for whitish foam (can you say "blown head gasket"?, power steering fluid reservoir, empty. I didn't even look at transmission oil. The owner told me he changed the oil at every year and never checked the other fluids. Obviously, not the car I want to buy. The thing that amazed me was given the level of abuse/negligence was that the car ran so well. Must be a testament to the toughness of the C900...
