1988 900S, 16V, 5spd, 174.5 K miles
My wife's Dodge Intrepid daily driver popped its cork so we're looking at vehicles. I have located a well maintained 1993 9000, automatic transmission, with low mileage in excellent condition.
My questions:
1-How are 9000s compared to my 1988 900 in terms of daily reliability as daily driver, 56 miles per day, and on long trips?
2-I do all of the work on my 900 but its in a 3rd vehicle role. How are easy or difficult are 9000s to work on? I find my 900 relatively easy to work on with the exception of that leaking HB oil seal and 0-ring that I need to replace!!!
3-How are the automatic trannies on 9000s? Are they a weak link like the 900s?
Thank you ahead of time for your input and help!!!!
Jim
