We bought a 1991 9000 three years back with 135,000 miles on it. At 160,000 we decided to bit the bullet and have our mechanic replace the timing and balance shaft chains and the related gears; this was due to the 91/91/ and early 93 2.3 engines having a reputation for improperly hardened gears on those chains. It turned out to be a good decision due to the amount of wear (to include missing teeth) on the chains and gears (to include the chain tensioners being at the maximum level of extension. We really love the performance of our 91 9000, but be sure to ask the owner whether any of the timing and balance shaft chains and related gears have ever been replaced.
