I bought my 1993 9000 CSE from a private seller in early 1997. The car cost less that I paid for a new Fiat Croma* in 1987. It has been much better than the Fiat and it still feels like new. *) I actually bought the new Fiat Croma in 1986. The engine had a metallic noise that I didn't like. I had the cylinder head replaced twice under warranty, but it made no difference. I didn't like to keep a car with this problem, so the dealer agreed a 'good will' trade in for another Fiat Croma in 1987. It costs me extra £2000, but I thought it was better than being stuck with a doubtful car. Nothing worse than buying a brand new car and ending up with a lemon.
