I'm Baaaack!!! 945t SE 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Shifted on  Tue Jan 16 03:41 CST 2007 [RELATED]

Hello everyone, I haven't been here for a couple of years but used to post on the 700 forum, had to sell the 745t (Hi Palmer:)) when we moved back here to Japan, and it has taken a bit to get settled. No time to think much about Bricking until my birthday last December, when my wife announced I was eligible to buy myself a car. I think she's just tired of having me in her sight too much, but I'm not complaining...

There's almost no 740's left in Japan, so I have been looking at 945's and have found that quite a few prime examples remain. 100,000 kilometers is considered really over the top here; none of my searches turned up anything over about 150k kilometers. Rust is basically unheard of and most people (especially VOLVO owners!) have their car dealer maintained at 6-month intervals. If anyone is interested is seeing just for giggles what kind of selection is available I could post a couple of links.

Anyhow I have found something I like, it's a '94 940SE turbo with 65k kilometers. The car is straight, clean and well-maintained, even the timing belt was changed by the dealer (at 50k kilometers!) Must have been a slow day...

Is there anything in particular I should be aware of here? This is my first 900 series, and I am really not yet sure how the SE edition is distinct. According to the information I have there were only 400 produced, but I don't know if that's just in Japan or worldwide...

Given the thumbs up by you worthy folk I shall purchase tomorrow!!!
