Lots of folks will dis the partial GM factor, but they are nice vehicles. By '99 they had all the issues worked out and it's a good buy. >The other is: > >1995 900 SE 107,000 miles, but is has a new engine installed by the local >dealer (busted timing chain blew the other engine) Car is in excellent >shape. Also $8999 Sounds like a V6 (?) Stay away if it is. Also, the '95 was the first year for this model - there were a fair number of TSB's since then fixing a lot of accessory and other issues. I'd avoid it, even if it is a turbo. MHO. >I drove the 900; it drives and feels like my 9000, only a bit peppier. >I'll drive the 9-3 tomorrow. Drove a few 9-3s yesterday, so I have an >idea of what the convertible will drive like. I also learned I do not want >an automatic. I've never owned a convertible - anything I should look for? Convertibles will hop a little on rough corners and have a little cowl shake n=here and there - but otherwise they are roughly the same as the same non-vert model. The payback is in warm weather when they are unbeatable. The '99 will have a hydraulic clutch vs. the mechanical in the ;95 so you will feel that difference. Otherwise they are very similar (unless the '95 is a non-turbo).
