A year and a half ago, I bought a 900seturbo with 90k miles. Today it has over 206k. (I'm a professional driver.) Turbo is still strong, only electrical problem was the direct ignition cassette at 130k and an alternator at 202k. If air conditioning is important to you, check it out before you buy. It is very expensive to repair and does tend to get leaks.A/C problems probably cost me as much as all others combined. (Well, close anyway!) Feed, water and maintain it correctly and you'll have a nice car for years to come. They're quick and not bad on gas. (Use 93 octane!) All my other repairs were no more than would be expected on any other car at that age. One of the reasons I bought the car is that it is my "office" 24/7 so I want a car that is very comfortable for me and that does what I want and need it to do. Hope this helps. Feel free to e-mail me if you need more specifics. Good luck!
