The 945T AC problem could be that the engine fan is not activated with the compressor. I forgot if the 945 has 1 or two engine fans, if 2 then it is an easy problem to repair.
The 945T should have power seats, heated. No need to lower the rear bar with a wrench.
The vibration could be simple, like fouled plugs, or massive like a failed head gasket. I would ask the mechanic for a compression check, easy to do on the 4 banger.
There are lots of 850 wagons around. Check the Richmond Craigslist just for fun. I thought I saw a turbo model, but it was NOT a T5, just a plain go fast turbo. The front seats were trashed, but a pick & pull will have lots of seats and the S/V70 seats will fit (1998) if you can figure out the wiring. Seats here in Minnesota are $22 each, just hard to find good ones.
This is just clean, but the mileage is suspect. Note that the trip odo is a zero and the seats are too trashed for under 140K miles.

Its not easy to get the mileage from the instrument cluster, but it can be done. This has an impact on the timing belt change interval (70K). Usually there is a sticker on the computer box in the engine compartment, passenger side.
