Can you broaden the choice?

The 9-3SS may be dicey for a while, but parts will be around and the good indy shops will be able to plug into it for diagnosis. And an '06 should have a good 10 years of life left. Parts may cost more, though.
The C900, OTOH, unless it's really solid will keep needing stuff but parts are readily available. And they are lots easier to work on, being pretty basic technically. They are real nice DIY car, but you have to accept it's a 30+ year old design and you do give up a lot of the comforts of a modern car.
If you could broaden the choice to include a 9-5, OG 9-3, or a 9000 it would be better, IMHO. I have all of those at the moment and they really are pretty good as long term cars.
