I bought a 1997 900 SE Turbo with 97,000 miles in Feb 2003. Paid $6350 at the time and have since dumped over $4,000 into it. Granted, I have become a better DIY'er becasue of this as most of this was done at an overpriced dealer. Nothing has drastically gone wrong with it though and it drives awesome. My issues were/are:
Vaccuum hose leaks leading to improper boost
New brakes needed
Dead DI cassette replaced
Some turbo valve needed replaced
One tire kept comming off the rim, so I had to buy 4 new ones to resolve the issue while existing tires has 50%+ tread left!
Replaced several interior switches myself and both auto-box lights (PRND321)
Installed new CD changer in front passenger footwell for my wife becasue rear skipped all the time then realized the rear one was set for horizontal position, but was mounted vertical! Still did not play CD-R's though, so it was not a true waste of money.
Re-wired faulty trunk light
Replaced cracked headlight assembly - did not notice this when I bought it, but the inspector sure did - cost $400 installed!! Then replaced the glass headlight cover on the other side to match the clarity of the new assembly (they tend to "fog" up over the years). That was another $150
Replaced broken ashtray
Have Neutral Safety Switch issues still not resolved
Rear wiper makes horrible noise when in use and is partially stripped so it sometimes works, sometimes does not.
The list goes on - but I still love the car and so does my wife - who drives it daily!
