I would not buy another 9000, though the car had some nice qualities, it was not worth the money. I only kept it one year. 900's seem to vary in quality. I had a new Turbo and 900, and a used turbo. Used cars are hard to predict because some people abuse them horribly before you get them.
Abused cars go through transmissions and clutchs rapidly.
Abuse and neglect a 900 and it will be a mess. On the plus side the old model 900 is a sturdy car compared to many Japanese vehicles, it has a good driving position, and the 3 door can carry lots and is a practical, versatile car with the seat down. I also think the old 900 was very safe, and have talked to many repair places that have seen horrible wrecked ones where folks walked away. Fuel economy was disappointing for me overall. I must say with my older 900s I was never stranded, and I must say that compared to what I have seen friends spend on their BMW 3 series cars the 900s have been cheap to maintain.
