once you get a feel for them. Also, given enough time and effort, 9000s can be made to run and handle as good as new.
My last, and I mean 'last', American car my wife's Tauras SHO. Pretty nice car when it was new, but a nightmare to work on. Every major job started with a trip to the Snap-On truck.
The bushings and such deteriorated quickly and some were welded in place. Many of the bolts and nuts were 'one shot' fasteners that had to be replaced when things came apart. I couldn't keep it running like new, no matter how hard I tried. I threw in the towel around 80k.
Saab 9ks, well looked after, will easily go 250k and still run like new.
