I've got a 95 900S auto 5-door w/ 82k. The car is plenty powerful for fun, especially w/ sport mode engaged on tranny. This is a fairly light car which makes the engine feel more than adequate. The only time it feels more ordinary is w/ the a/c working hard. Engine is great for quick freeway merges, mountains, and just having fun. Although the manual might make it feel quicker, the automatic is definitely more reliable - very few reported problems on this board - none with mine. In fact, it seems the 2.3 liter non-turbo w/ the automatic is most reliable version of 900's from those years per mechanics I've talked to. No other gremlins unique to this configuration have reared their head - I'd definitely buy same car again.
I suppose you could do better on price as Ed says - but selection is usually the problem. If the car is clean with good service records, 8000 to 9000 bucks is a very fair price range for the car given the low miles. You might consider running the car on Edmunds.com using their True Market Value service to find its street value- much more meaningful than Blue Book prices.
BEST OF LUCK
