should buy it or keep mine? possibly upgrading to a 94 945T 700 1992

Morning all


i posted this in the opinions section but i think i should have posted it here. Anyways

A friend of mine bought a 94 945T with about 170xxx miles afew months ago. the car was in pretty bad shape as far as the engine goes. interior is in not too bad shape. he has since brought the car back to stage 0.
meaning he replaced cap rotor,plugs,turbo, o2 sensor,tranny flush and so on...

i have driven the car and have fallen in love with it! they a few small things that need to be attended to and those are the drivers window is off track,the temp gauge is not working,he said that is an easy fix and will be fixed. the car could use a new hood also.


my friend offered the car to me in exchange for my 92 745T and 900.00 cash plus he said he would swap out all of my aftermarket parts like IPD sways,ecode headlights,965 talilights lower chassis brace,bilstein HD frt and rear, etc.

My 92 745T has 170018 on the speedo i am the second owner with the po records plus all of my records.

my car has some issues as well like.

steering rack is going, burning lots of oil, blower motor and resistor needs replacing.it only works on the highest,# 5 position,center console is cracked,could use a good interior cleaning, plus other little items.
the reason i want this car is because it has the desireable B230FT L block engine. pass, air bag,internal window antenna, i think power driver seat but im not sure 'bout that.

i was thinking of passing this one up because im not into red vehicles but after driving it i actually forgot it was a red wagon and the other thing is ill be giving up my second car owner status. i would be the third or fourth owner of the red wagon.
but at this point i think it is goood deal.

Thoughts?

Thanks
