After 4 - nothing is the same but... Posted by Scott Paterson [Email] ![]() ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Can't Get Rid of It, John Peterson, Mon, 24 May 2004 18:42:57 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
After owning and driving 4 classic 900's my wife and I searched long and hard for a reasonably mileaged 1992 or 1993 900 turbo... but we just couldn't find one in decent shape. We were past the phase where driving 125,000 mile cars as "new" to us was quaint... our final 1992 900S was bought at 118K. We finally jumped right up to a 13,000 mile 9-3 Turbo. It felt a lot like our 1983 900 Turbo and it has served us so well, doing 26,000 miles in the first year we owned it. It's at least as good as the 83 that went 210,000 miles on the original turbo and was still strong!
I feel for you... the nice C900's are getting scarcer and scarcer... someone might make a nice little business out of restoring them... I don't know if people would be willling to pay... Someone else could better and more accurately make that call.
