Speaking of manual, how's the clutch (wear and tear) on > 9000 series? I replaced the clutch in my 900TC about 60K. CS = Combi-Saloon, (hatchback). CD = Saloon. E = more equipment, but this is difficult to quantify as it depends on year and market. AFAIK, after 94 all CSE had LPT ot turbo. CS's are worth slightly more than CD's. Clutch is still OK on my 93 CSE. Problem is that people hold on to good 9000's. Johannes
