900se talladega vs 9000 cse

I'd fix up your current car. Sounds like the 9k needs just as much work, plus there are more than likely a few unknowns you'll run into as well.

I was cruising around and came across a white 9000 CSE for 2900. The interior was MINT and the body was almost perfect minus a little rust on the rear right fender. Motor has been replaced with a low mile junkyard motor. Transmission had been rebuilt. The 9000 is also white which I haven't seen many around new england.

Body is NOT mint if you can see rust... if you can see it, what you can't see is going to be far worse. As much as I love the 9000 make - your NG is probably going to need WAY less then this 9000. If you are looking for a second project - then I'd say it would be worth going after, but as a Primary - it will need work. Rusty Saab's = no fun to repair.

the rust is about the size of a dime
my hatch i can literally stick my finger through in most spots

Depends - do you like your ng900? Does the thought of a 9000 give you a whole new itch? I personally like the 9000 over any ng900 - just my opinion. 9000 has way more ability over a ng900 - performace upgrades are right on par, but the car can handle sooooo much better with some upgrades. They look "newer" too - meaning that don't age like other cars look in 10 years. My 1995 looks like a 1998 and everyone always thinks it's newer.

if you feel it's time for change - then I say go for it!

What's the mileage and year of this white 9000 CSE for "$2900"?

a Stock 9000 is something you can have for minimal funds - if you are ready for a few new gremlins which you'll get used to having around.

Is your Talle the black as noted in your info?

I have a black front hood, grille, bumper and leather seats that we might be able to work out a deal on. Might even have access to a hatch too. Might make you change your mind about your car.

Keep the tally. Tally NG's are so awesome.

Automatic or 5-speed?
Turbo or n/a (1993+1994 you could get a n/a 9000 CSE)

Both questions make a HUGE difference in your decision.

go for the 9k, lot better non GM car. More room, and handles better stock. In my humble opinion.

9ks are pretty sick, id take one over an NG anyday,
