Re: What should I look for? 850 95

I have a 94 turbo wagon and love it! These things have some quirks though as you can read throughout the board. I would have the tranny checked if it's an automatic, just to make sure it's solid. There are switches that can go out that make it look like it's dying when it's really not. In fact, the chevy dealership who sold me mine, thought the tranny was shot, so I got it for about 5k under market. It was a 80 dollar switch, now it runs like the wind! I would also look for really bad tire wear as some of these cars had tire wear issues.I would make sure the A/C works, the evap is not the most relieable part, though mine is fine with 76k, others have had issues. I would also buy the turbo model..trust me, it's worth it! Make sure the cv joints are good too, as the joint/axle assembly will run you over 600 bucks from the dealer. good luck.
