I just bought one (without the leather). Considering the [lack of] differences between the S and the SE, the price is VERY good! Maintenance is as expensive as any foreign car (though less than a Mercedes, BMW...). Preventive maintenance works to eliminate big expenses later. The 35,000 MI check on my '94 900SE V-6 cost $425. The one on the Turbo should be less (in constant dollars). --------------------- John R.
