Found a 1995 940 wagon - any special hints to look for? 900

posted by  someone claiming to be V70driver on  Fri Sep 12 14:31 CST 2008 [RELATED]

I may have found a 1995 940 turbo wagon at an Alabama Toyota dealer, only 51,000 miles. I'll take it to an independent shop in Birmingham for an inspection. I read the useful hints a few weeks ago here: http://www.brickboard.com/RWD/index.htm?id=1294889&show_all=1

The car was driven to the dealership, but I am not sure if it was unused for months or years at any time in its past.

Can anyone advise on:
1. Any special red flag items I should look for in a used 940 (other than inundation and all those other obvious things)?
2. Does this car have Nivomats in the rear? (Previous discussions were confusing.)
3. Any durability problems with the turbo system, or special maintenance requirements?
4. Does the interior vinyl have the delaminating problem of the V70s or the falling headliner that affected some models?
5. Any notorious weak points in this car?

I miss having a station wagon....thanks to you all.
