My wife has a 95 GLT (non-turbo) and it has proven to be a good

car. It is a wagon. Biggest problem are rattles. If you can

get past that then you will enjoy the car. It has had several minor

problems but no major engine, driveline or suspension problems.

A 95 model, depending on milage, may have just had the tires

replaced. Check that out since if you have to replace them

it is an extra expense. The battery is also looking at end of life.

A sears DieHard Silver (made by Exide) is about $100 (they make

two sizes and the larger one provides more cranking power, costs

the same and is fits the battery tray well). So, you might have

to plan on a new battery. Brake pads should have been replaced

aroundk 30K miles (on the front) and brakelines possibly bleed

(get the service records and double-check the 30K service items).

As an owner of a turbo and non-turbo model I'd get the turbo,

it is worth the extra $1000 on a used car.

Minor things I'd check:

Rear door interior plastic attached and not coming loose (this is

the wagon door).

Headliner for sunroof glued on and on not sagging.

Passenger side airbag dash cover not lifting at the seam.

Transmission can be put into gear with foot on brake without

using the transmission lockout override switch (a solenoid

here fails frequently).

Dash lights all work.

Windshield nozzle sprays work.

Window switches work and not gummed up from drinks spilt into

them.

Air conditioning works.

Pitted paint on hood from rocks and pebbles.

Pitted windshield glass.

Any major scratches on engine crossmember (under engine).

Most items are fairly easily fixed (and common problems). They should

not keep you from buying but should be factored into any negotiated

price.
