ADVICE needed regarding purchase of 740 Turbo wagon 700 1989

I recently test drove a 1989 Volvo Turbo wagon with 181,000KM (112,000mi).

It drove smoothly, lots of power and was quite comfortable. It did seem to
float a bit with highway driving, and had a slight random creak in the front
end (sounded like a strut)--it wasn't something I heard consistently.

Sunroof doesn't work, and front fender has some small damage. There's also
some rust emerging under paint of tailgate (car is originally from
Edmonton). There's a few cracks in dash and some minor splits in rear seats. If I do purchase it, I'll have the engine compression tested et al.

I think the engine was a B21 or B23 (I'll check tomorrow when I get VIN info).

The gentlemen whom has it for sale is asking $6000 Canadian. Does anyone have comments/feedback about this particular wagon and the price?

Thanks

Norm Cook
