I've had two C900's ('85 SPG and '88 Turbo) and two NG900's ('94 SET and '96 S Convt). Both C900's seemed to need constant maintenance of minor things. The '96 convertible NG900 went 75k miles with not a single problem. My '94 900SET has been reliable except for needing a head gasket at 60k miles, which I find totally unacceptable.
The transmissions in the NG900's are reportedly much sturdier than the C900's. The weak link is still reverse and those pesky clutch cables. I recommend an NG900, but just know that they aren't cheap to maintain. To some it is worth it. To others it is not. My mechanic claims they generally require less repairs than the C900. My '96 supported that idea, but my '94 certainly doesn't, so make of that what you will.
