but after many years of watching models come and go, I'm seeing a familiar pattern.
The dealers pull out first, fewer 9000 parts on the shelf. Lots of 'Oh I'll have to order that'.
Then the aftermarket guys pull out. Ronal with the wheels being a recent example. Very few new 9000 hop up parts have turned up in the last few years.
Finally, all the really clean low mileage used cars get snapped up, as saavy owners see their last chance to stash one away.
Sadly, 9000s were never sold in great numbers and I doubt they'll see true collector car status. Even the make up of the BB is changing...more 3rd and 4th owners just trying to keep their cars running.
We're all going to have to move on some day.....
