Don't for a moment expect that the previous owner have sorted out all the problems for you. Much more likely that he has reached a stage where he want to unload the car rather than fixing it. Anyway, the 9000 is a fantastic car when it is right. But which 9000 model is it exactly? The 9000 CS/CSE was introduced in 1992, possibly available autumn 1991, so '9000 Turbo' sounds a bit odd for a 1992.
