Hello everyone,
Since November 2002 I have been trying to find a local 1995 940 Wagon with certain options. In all that time only one has come up for sale and when I tried to buy the person decided they were going to keep it (they lost there job). I need to replace my 2 turbo wagons 90 760 and 92 740 as I can not keep up with the exelerated turbo wear issues (it's always something). Since I can not locate a 1995 NA 940 wagon my other options I see are a 92 or 93 240 wagon (I loved working on that car) vs a 94 or so 850 wagon. I am not all that familar with the 850s but what benifit disadvantages would the 240 vs the 850? Does the 850 use the same harmonic balancer counter tool to change the t-belt. How much harder is the 850 to work on than the 240 or 940?


Thanks
