Thanks Audax. You're right about the 9000s. I had one which did 90k in three years. My brother bought it from the leasing company and did another 50k. He sold it to a friend who took it over 200k. Fabulous cars. I'd love to find the one which followed it - a 9000CSE 2.3t auto - best car I've ever owned. A 95 Aero ran it a very close second.
