9000 Repair costs compared to 900

Hi all,
My family's on our 5th 900 and I'm looking to the 9000 model now. I would appreciate anything and everything you can tell me about the differences in repair costs between the 900 and 9000. I've just begun looking and, as a student, I don't have a *ton* of money to spend... so I have been looking in the 1993-1994 range 9000's with the thought that they would be less expensive and perhaps more easy to work on myself than newer models. I have been in a 93 9000CSE turbo, and I must say, I enjoyed it, so I've been looking at the CSE Turbos especially. Will the 9000 be as conducive to DIY repairs in this range of years, how expensive are parts (compared to 900), and are there any major red flags I should be aware of when looking to purchase a 9000? Will the 9000's reach the legendary Saab mileages?
What would you say is a good price for a '93 or '94 9000CSE turbo with ~100k on it?
Thanks for your help!
Tim B.
