If the price is right and it's in good shape....buy it!
Sure have it checked out but I wouldn't consider a bad SID, bent rims, etc. a deal breaker. An engine that hasn't been taken good care of I would never consider, so if things under the hood or the service records are suspect, I'd have the valve cover pulled and a compression test done, before I'd consider the car.
My search for a good Viggen was about 4 years and despite wanting a 5 door I ended up with a 2002 3 door. I too had an older SPG ('86) that I'd owned for 17 years, and from what I've read, the Viggen seems to be the replacement car of choice for SPG owners. That said, I wished I'd kept my SPG too. I loved the car and it's ability to carry stuff.
But the Viggen is intoxicating. I haven't driven many cars that do what the Viggen does for me. Turnpikes never looked so good, but a quick lesson in that 'others don't expect you to be so fast' is in order.....too many times have I had close calls when merging into traffic. 3rd gear is where the real thrill begins and legally should end......gotta love torque!!
