I highly recommend that you keep your 900 on the road for a while longer and really do a good maintenance review of the car. Working on the 9000 is not difficult and is required if you are not going to give $$$$$ to the mechanic. Review quasimotors web site....remove right hand front wheel and inner front plastic shroud and loosen belt and check all pulleys. Probably go ahead and replace all vacum hose in eng compt. Ensure drains are not closed/clogged at bottom of doors and bottom of false firewall. Check amp draw from heat blower motor...these rust up quick if drain in aquarium has been clogged. Check all 4 CV boots, replace if cracked...etc., etc. Engine mounts aren't difficult to replace.
