> As long as you stay away from the V6 engine you should be fine. In
Australia
anyway, the new generation 900's are cheaper to work on than the old ones.
This goes for body work too.
What is wrong with the V6?
The 94's had a pulley replaced under a recall I think, but other
than that with normal maintenance at the _correct_ intervals they
are fine. Changing the spark plugs is a pain but it is no
worse than say, doing a fan belt on an classic 900.
All of the V6 engine failures I have heard of have been
thrashed high mileage cars that didn't get their cambelts
changed at the right time. (anecdotal evidence from three
different dealers).
