I've got both 240's and 700's. The 900 is essentially the same. Love em. All of em. They both work nicely.
The 7/9 is one of the most comfortable cars you'll ever drive. For long trips, they're the car of choice, by far.
As for that color, I'm not a huge fan of it either. It is common, however, and should you need a matching fender or door, it should be able to be found in that color.
My 90 stick 740 wagon is that blue/green, and came with the ugly (my opinion, which is correct!) tan leather. As it turns out, I found a 90 745T for parts, and it's the same color. And it was built with a black interior. So I'm in the process now of swapping everything over to black. It may be warmer in summer, but it'll be so much nicer.
I may be mistaken, but it seems the tan leather fails by the leather itself disintegrating. The black leather seems tougher and pulls apart at the seams, which is fixable. The new black interior will be re-stitched and a fine upgrade from the tan... then the tan will all be for sale.
Go get it, you'll love it!
