They're not bad at all. I've done 4000 Miles in my '95 940 turbo in the last 3 weeks. Though it's M90 manual box did file for divorce a day before its last trip. If you're in the States I think the manual wasn't offered.

Check it out properly. I don't kow values where you are. 940's are very safe in an accident, but can be swines to repair following crash damage. Any premium price car of that age should have cast iron verifiable history, and no accident damage, ever.

The only real weakness is the radiator, many though not all have a gearbox oil/water heat exchanger. If it blows water gets into the box and will wreck it. I'd insist on a new quality/genuine rad.

Petrol gauges are prone to failing. check for steering rack, track rod end wear. Check whether the nivomats are functioning. On the whole though those late cars are extremely well sorted. This list is not exhaustive, read the FAQ

Regards


Pete
