I have a 93 9000CSET, 160k miles, 5spd and couldn't be happier. Bought it dirt cheap; put about $1400. into it. Good gas mileage (US 22mpg city, 33mpg hwy), tons of room, plush ride, decent handling, highly rated in the safety department, great performance and pretty reliable. Make sure & get a turbo. What more can you want? I don't see the point in getting a 900. It has a rougher, louder ride, less room, about the same gas mileage, argueably less safe & reliable with less room. Be sure & check it out thoroughly. There are certain failure trends to be aware of. Check the various Saab websites. http://216.78.172.244/entry/dir_of_services.htm used to have a good list but they seem to be down at the moment.
