On the whole, 9000s are better value than 900s. However, 900s are simpler to work on, which means easier maintenance if you diy, or cheaper labour if you use a garage. Parts prices are verty similar. They're very different cars, so decide which you like best. I have both, and love them for different reasons. 900s are lots of fun, handle nicely, corner well, but are not very modern feeling. They are, IMHO, the definitive Saab. 9000s OTOH are more modern, smoother, more refined. Much more comfy for longer journeys than 900s, but not as much fun, and not as good round corners. Don't let high miles scare you, 150k is no problem. What's important is that the car's been taken care of. The oil should be clean, and you should have significant service history. Especially important for turbo cars. Good luck. Grunff
