Having driven a manual 900 since '86 I am not aware of the standard "problems" on the 9000s. Since I may buy a "previously owned" 9000 would anyone care to list the standard "problems" a 9000 has? I read of one recall on the 90 or 91 9000 automatics where a circuit board could over-heat and catch fire, but that is the only official problem I have read about.
