Please pay attention to whether or not the timing chain and associated gears have been replaced. I am an original owner of a '91 9000 CD. Timing chain broke at 85000 miles cost several thousand dollors to fix. Gears associated with that model year are not hardened and cause the chain to break prematurely. Need to replace the chain and the gears. See if chain already fixed. If not it could cost you big. Any '91 that hasn't had the gears fixed is worth a lot less than one that has. At least $2000 in my opinion. Do a search on this board and you will agree.
