I have a 92-960 and I love it, very nice ride, BUT it's a PITA, it has some problem every other month, electrical issues, suspension, brakes, leaking sunroof, what ever, I am a Saturday mechanic and I kind of enjoy that but I've had it for two years and will never finish repairing something.

I had a nice 93-940 that was like a tractor, much easier to maintain, with the easy B-230 non-turbo red engine, I LOVED that car but a stupid lady on a cell phone hit me two months ago and it was total loss.

Don't get me wrong, I love my 960 but I sometimes wish I had a Toyota Corolla instead that never breaks and make 30 MPG instead of 18 like my 960.

I also have a 92-Honda Accord that only needs gas and oil.
Having a 960 is like having a wife that you really love but is always sick.
....and the whole thing depends on a $35 healthy rubber timing belt...you'll have to junk the car if it breaks, or even if the tensioner fails.

Also, not easy to find 960 cars in the junk yards, but you'll find a lot of 940, 760, 740 and 240 that share the same engine and tranny.
