I have a 1991 940 Turbo, it has 228,000 miles on it and I don’t know how long it will last. It was given to me by my grandfather but before that it had 2 other owners. My grandfather had the top part of the motor rebuilt at 180,000. He was not great at getting it serviced only when he had the time. Besides that I have no idea of what was fixed/serviced before 180,000. Its whole life was spent in the mountains of North Carolina. Now it’s in Florida. It runs a little hard but it does run, the Turbo to my knowledge works, it leaks some oil but doesn’t burn any, the ac still goes cold, and the Exhaust is clear. The tranny is what I’m worried about, it has hard upshifts and I don’t even know the last time it was serviced. I’m 16 and this is my first car, I don’t have to much money so getting a new one is out of the question. I really love this car so if there is anything you might expect to be or going to go wrong soon please share.
