I can see that a C900 is a nice looking car, but as it will be older than a 9000CSE, it will probably require some handiwork. My 93 9000CSE seems to go on spinning like a cat and is free of the mid-life niggles that it had about five years ago, it also looks a bit cool with it's 16" three spoke alloys. If I had to choose a C900, it would be a late 3 door full house turbo in black, e.g. the Ruby models from 1992. However, these models are sought after and can still be expensive if in good condition.
