as it is a '91, I am sure it is not too expensive. the 5 sp is definitely more desirable. If you want a 9k and this one is what you want, get it at the right price. If you would prefer a 5 sp, keep looking. There are a number of 9k drivers who prefer the automatic. Service it regularly, perform fluid flushes regularly. it may last a long time. It may also die on you. It is definitely the weak link especially for a turbo model. KeithG brutus wrote: > Im considering purchasing a 91 9000 with the automatic trans.
