Am I crazy?

I'm looking to buy a cheap car (sub-$2,000), and I've always loved Saabs, although I've never owned one. I'm currently considering a '91 900S, non-turbo, with some things replaced (tires, brakes, exhaust, and plugs/wires), with around 150K miles. It's four hours away, so I haven't looked at it yet.
I can't do anything myself due to lack of tools, space, and ability, so any repairs will come out of pocket, but I figure at this price (1,000-1,500), if anything major goes wrong, I'll just donate it for a tax write-off.
Is it possible to be happy for at least a little while with a car like this while putting a bare minimum of money into it. I really feel at this pricepoint a car is almost disposable. What do you think?
