Advice/Opinions on 91 740T Purchase 900

I'm going to offer a dissenting opinion.

First of all, this is an owner-service board, and now you've got people asking if the thing was dealer serviced. So now we all have to have our cars dealer serviced to make them worthy of sale?

Price is around $3700, not 13700 or 23700, so don't expect too much in the dealer serviced cream puff department. Besides, a lot of dealers forgot how to service RWD products so it doesn't mean what it would've in 1995.

Anyone who posts here will get the same responses, have it checked out by a dealer, make sure it has all the books stamped, and so on.

Well--that's true, but it's not practical with a 91 anymore. Someone who's been paying dealer freight for all their routine maintenance is going to be pushing the car for more money than that. If it's a solid car, the most important thing is to run the miles on Carfax and you have time for that. There is one guy in this area who ONLY has "low mileage A-1" cars listed in the paper every week. He's got a bunch of different phone numbers but they all go to the same place, private residence. A lot of Mercedeses and Volvos.

They were low mileage when they were new, no doubt. And now they are again... nice for people who buy them thinking they're legit.

You should be able to spot the major issues. The car isn't that complex. Most importantly the turbo and of course, major leaks.
