We own three 9000s (94 Aero, 94 CSE (non-turbo) and 97 CSE (turbo)and purchased all of them used. The key is to find one with maintenance records and a history of oil changes. Many of the typical things that go wrong are within the abilities of the average shade tree mechanic. Overall the body design is brilliant, re flexibility to haul far more than other sedans, phenomenal fuel efficiency (our automatics get 30-32 mpg on the highway and the manual Aero gets 34-35), more than acceptable pick-up and great handling. I would not share your opinion that the non-turbo would be much more reliable, except that the auto trans would probably have a longer life with the lower powered non-turbo.
