purchase dilemma

I have an opportunity to buy an '88 turbo from a local shop specialising in Saab. It goes like a bat out of North Georgia and is, by all appearances, in great shape. It is the owners primary auto as of now. She has personally put 170k miles on the car since she bought it with 100k. That's right, there are 270k miles on this car. It is a 5-speed and it has been performance modified. There are, of course, tons of records being as it is at a shop she owns.
My question is: "Would you buy this car?" I am new to 9000s but have owned about 10 900s. The engines in the two are very similar and I'm sure I can work on the car with no worries. I'm just curious about the opinions of the veteran 9000 owners out there, especially those who have experience with the early models.
Thanks in advance.
