Early models (95 and 96) are to be avoided. They had issues with the block casting that caused some to hemmoraghe oil and coolant. The fix was to replace the longblock. On the other hand, at this point, almost twenty years down the road, the ones that have survived were either not afflicted with that particular malady or they have been repaired.

It is a nice car. Plenty of power and fun to drive. Handles very well - a completely different driving experience from the 240. The 960 body is basically a 940 with some cosmetic updates and a plusher interior. Speaking of the interior, the 960 comes with a ton of gadgetry that will be troublesome and expensive as the car ages.
