I spent a lot of time researching this and decided the 9K was better for me. I like driving both cars, but the 9K seems more substantial and is better for what I need. It is a ton different than my C900 (not tossable) but it still goes thru the twisties quite well. You just drive it a different way.
In researching it here on TSN and talking to owners of both types and my indy, I don't think there is a huge difference in overall reliability. When buying a used car, you know you'll have to put some bucks into it. Stuff will go south on either car and TCO (total cost of ownership) are probably in the same ballpark. You just end up replacing different things. I think a 9K probably needs more attentive maintenance than a NG900, but if you like tinkering and some DIY it's probably no biggie.
But with either car, have a good tech lined up for service or stuff you don't want to do yourself. And use TSN as a resource.
Get the one that suits your needs best.
But do drive a bunch of cars. I found big differences between same years in both 9000s and NGs. Whichever you choose, when you find a good one and the right price, go for it. One indy said to me go with condition, not mileage, which is not bad advice up to a point.
Good luck!
Noel
