To 940 or not to 940?? That is the question... 900

hey all,

thanks so much for your wonderful responses!!! you have been IMMENSELY helpful. after some long deliberation, i traded the camaro in today. there were no tears, but i can say that it will take a little while to adjust to the wagon.

the wagon is exactly as i stated: well-kept and, in all appearances, well-maintained mechanically; however, there are no service records. i know that she (yes, i named her Saga, a good Swedish name) will need a timing belt shortly, a transmission flush and filter, and the valves adjusted. also, we are going to replace all the fluids, flush everything, including the rear differential and there is a small exhaust leak that needs to be addressed. in addition, i couldn't possibly have known until i bought it and filled it with it's virgin tank of gas, that the fuel gauge is not registering and the little fuel level warning light isn't coming on when i start the ignition.

so, saga is home, getting added to insurance tomorrow and registered. she will be on the road soon with the help of my boyfriend (owner of the 940 GLE...and yes, a great proponent of me getting rid of the camaro!! haha)

i look forward to many trips with this "road warrior."

thanks again!!
