I traded my '94 900SE V-6 for a '98 900S Turbo in January. I ran into pretty much the same attitude. OTOH, since the price of the non-SE trim Turbo was VERY attractive, I decided to take it in the shorts on the '94 -- I suspect trying to sell it myself would have been difficult with the V-6. --------------------- John R.
