Ok, if you read my previous post you know I really like my 855t. I've been on this board for a year both getting and giving help and really enjoyed it. Now I have to ask a question to those experienced with both cars.

As I can get into a '91 or '92 940 sedan, maybe even a turbo, for about half of what I could get out of my 855t, what are the pros or cons of such a move? Set me straight but two things I see are that a 940 turbo puts out about the same power as a n/a 850 so I know I'll be losing a fair amount of thrust and I notice a what seems to be a lack of aftermarket support for the 940.

The ride is better in the 940 and the interior is very similar to the 850. If given a choice, I'd prefer a RWD platform and it's simplicity from the DIY maintenance perspective. I do like the larger size of the 940.

Anyone?
