I have 99,000 miles on my 1997 900S and it still looks and runs almost like new. I haven't had any major unexpected repairs and the brake pads last forever. I run Continental all-season tires and have no problem in the snow. The Pirellis I had were also fine. They are fun, safe, fuel-eficient, versatile when you have to carry stuff, and they just have a certain feel to them that one cannot explain. The only downside is that parts can be expensive. As for choosing turbo or non-turbo, if you want a cheap car, go non-turbo. It has enough low end torque and you don't notice the difference unless you really step into the gas. No turbo lag and cheaper insurance.
Take care and hope to see you on the Saabnet more often in the near future,
