Will start to cost more as it creeps into 125,000 + miles as the rubber parts and electronic sensors start to get old. Be prepared for higher running costs over the C900 - but not as breath taking as the NG900. If you can find a 1995 that has had the age related work done - you will be equally pleased, the body shells after 1993 are less prone to rust (though not impervious) and, I feel, the build quality was a little more precise between 1993 and 1996. There is a lot of feeling against the TCS system. Personally, given the snow and ice conditions here and it's primary use as a family ride - I like it on the 5 speed. Saves tires if nothing else and it comes with a dash off switch that can be added if not already in place. The early Aero at 225hp is *everything* they are reputed to be - the seats are even better than stock and it will pull harder than anything you've ever driven from Trollhatten. That said - they have usually been run harder than average models and everything that means. Stating the obvious - don't buy on the model - buy on the car itself. This is more true of the 9000 than the C900 because of the electronics involved. -- Radio Free Dexterdyne Top Tune o'be-do-da-day Glen Frey - All She Wants to Do Is Dance http://www.dexterdyne.org/888/045.RAM all tunes - no cookies no subscription no weather no ads no news no phone in - RealAudio 8+ Required - all the Time
