If you have seen my other recent post, you know I have a 745 with some gremlin. That car is run by my daughter and she needs something more reliable. Frankly I just can't spend more time with it.
So I found 945 in the next town. It has 197Kmiles. Want $1500, seemed firm when I tried to negotiate down.
Good: No rust, engine starts and pulls fine, seems a bit underpowered, but hard to tell as I don't usually drive the 8v, auto cars. Tranny shifts fine. No looseness in front end.
BAD: Exhaust gone, front muffler has big hole. Rt. front turn lens gone, no low beams (highs OK), tailgate will not latch, but works by hand, no intermittent wipers, no wiper upon wash cycle, rt. rear window will not go up last inch.
Has code 123 (ECT sensor, what's that?) from socket 2 (ignition), code 224 (coolant sensor signal) from 6 (LH fuel system),
Missing 2 hubcaps.
What should I be worried about here? I have no experience with the 940, although obviously simaliar to the 740.
Anything I should check in particuliar?
