Probably a tossup

Really depends on preventive maintenance and luck of the draw.
If the fluid in an automatic has been changed regularly (preferably with synthetic ATF) it has a good chance of lasting a long, long time. I recently got rid of an 85 900T with just under 200K on it.
Also depends, at least partly, on where and how the car is driven. Large city traffic is much harder on clutches and other parts of the stick shift, in my opinion. Also harder on the left leg<g>.
I found the 3000 rpm to be acceptable, though not necessary what I would like. Have had other 900s over the years, mostly with automatics (since my wife doesn't do stick), and had no problems with them.
