Definitely pull the carpets (and foam under carpet) and look for rust. Also check front lower A-arm mounts for rust. Wiring harness on 85's are usually not good. The insulation breaks down and falls off the wires and then you get shorts from bare wires touching each other. Some cars aren't as bad as others. I have an 85 SPG that has some wiring issues but nothing that prevents anything from working on it.
Parts are not too difficult, yet. For some reason a lot of parts places list the 900 at 1986 and up, yet many 86 parts work just fine on the 85.
Check it over, if it's decent go for it. 145K is nothing for these cars if maintained decently over the years.
