Looking at 940 with low miles 900

Hi all,
I'm going to look tomorrow at an out of town '94 940 turbo wagon. Apparently has less than 60,000 miles on the car. I've owned a '92 240 before but this is my first 940. I know the mileage is low but anything I should keep my eyes peeled for while looking it over and driving it?

Are the engines on the turbo model the same as the 2.3L I was used to in my 240? I read that some 940's had 16 valve engines and are more trouble-prone. Hopefully this one has 8 valves like the regular 2.3L?

I read that 940 turbos need 93 octane fuel and don't get as good mileage as non-turbo 240/740/940's. If the price is right, this car is probably still worth it, unless it requires too much in the way of repairs.

I'll look at the FAQ to get some ideas of stuff to look at when checking it out.

Thanks for any advice. Regards.
