My UK-spec 9000S may not be the same as you have on the other side of the pond - it was a 2-litre non-turbo automatic with leather, alloy wheels, sunroof but no air conditioning. It was a lovely car - I bought it with 75k miles and ran it for 5 or 6 years. We put on 205/5 tyres and renewed suspension bushing and dampers, plus a rising-rate fuel-pressure regulator, which made it shift quite well. However, the auto gearbox failed at about 155k miles, and then the engine self-ignited at about 185k, so goodbye Sven!
I should say that when I was trying to sell Sven two years ago, I wasn't getting any offers at £1,200 (about $1,700) and I was very glad when the insurance paid out £1,850 before deductions...
