We had an 83 900 Turbo. It was an awesome car. It went 210,000 miles on the original turbo which was still running exceptionally strong when that lost rental car driver broadsided her. If that car was indicative of that year of Saab 900's, that's a good year.
Check the shifting, especially reverse. If it pops out of any gears, it'll need transmission work. Try reversing uphill. If it's solid, that's a great sign.
