You described the C900 as "beautiful" - that's the one for you ... As for Aeromotive, I get the impression "the Phils" would prefer to work on a C900 than a 9000 - you've got to keep your mechanics happy :) <--- Where you at? I'm up in Queensbury, arse end of Bradford/top of Halifax and Aeromotive have looked after my last three C900s. Have a word with Aeromotive - I'm sure they can source you a good 900 or 9000, whichever way you decide. Happy hunting. Paul 1989 900 Turbo S http://saab.go.dyndns.org/
