Am I nuts?

I owned a Red 1988 Turbo 900 for a little less than a year back when it was
new. I loved that car, thought it was the coolest thing on the planet. But
it was more than I could sensibly afford at the time and I was lucky to sell
it for virtually what I paid (it had been some regional directors car and
had $6000 knocked off the sticker).

My sister caught the SAAB bug and had a 9000 that was nothing but trouble,
always in the shop. And I somehow convinced my parents to buy a used 900S
for their second car that was also nothing but trouble. One day my mother
was putting gas in it, and she (all 5 feet of her) opened the door "too
hard" -- it pivoted too far on the hinge and would no longer close. From
that point on, the only way to close the door if this happened again (and it
did many times) was to have a thick, 2 foot long flat-head screwdriver handy
to use as a fulcrum to push some pivot lock pin out of the way so the door
could close.

I suppose these vintage SAABs and their problems are somewhat reflected in
the modest sale prices for even super-nice examples. I still find myself
attracted to these cars, as a person who likes contemporary and mid-century
modern design, they satisfy that sort of artistic sense; I am probably
squarely within a particularly defined demographic when I also admit to a
fondness for the Citroen DS and the BMW 2000CS models.

I really would like one of those Edwardian Grey SPGs, but my common sense
tells me that I'll be buying into endless problems, difficult-to-get parts,
and probably mandated Premium Gasoline (when Regular is ridiculous right
now). Should I worry less, now that there are solid networks of SAAB
enthusiasts out there via the internet?

Someone please slap some sense into me!
