I looked at a '94 940 with only 68K miles (asking $4K) today. The owner told me on the phone that the only problems were a missing plastic seat part + a side lens cover. I'm thinking about offering $1K but I don't even know if it's worth that. I found a long list of little problems and these big ones (at least I think they might be big):

-No maint records at all, even though this is the orig owner
-Exhaust is rusted, it also popped several times and I could feel it pulsing with my hand near the pipe. Is that enough to walk away from the car?
-The motor shook like crazy. I'm guessing it needs new mounts ($200 or so?)
-The car pulled to the right and the steering wheel was shaking
-The owner told me that the gas gauge was broken (up to $600, right?)
-I think it still has the original belts + water pump, heck, just about everything on the car may date back to '94
-Lots of oil leaks
-The crank pulley was covered in rust (normal???). This is a southern car that has virtually no body rust.
-All four door panels are puckered around the locks (locks do work) + several other interior plastic parts are missing/busted
-I noticed many black specs on the fuse board. What's up with that? The owner is a smoker (another bonus). Could it be from the nearby ashtray?
-It has about a 6" long dent at the front passenger corner

Is this car worth dealing with? On the plus side the AC works, it only has 68K miles, the paint/body look good (other than the dent) and it ran strong (in spite of the owner).

Hey Cajun just raise her from the dead!!!! Air up the tires, tune it up, new waterpump & timing belt plus seals and fill it up about every 300 miles. LOL!!!!!! I have a 93 turbo wagon with 104k There have been little plastic parts and switches to replace but over all it runs great. I'm replacing my timing belt, waterpump and seals right now. Aparently these cars just have oil leaks from high crank case presure. Next is my flame trap. Good Luck on your BRICK. If it's a turbo offer $1,100. See Ya :00000732:

I think even a $1000 is much but hey, if the AC works and the body is straight except for the crease, I would go for it. This is coming from a guy who bought a car that turned out to be stolen, actually most of the car was put together from other stolen cars and I told the "seller' that I could wait on the title because he looked like an okay guy. Spent a fortune to get everything right with the car and the DMV and the cops and the *&%$@#*( car dies. But I think if you are handy and don't mind getting dirty......SHE IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
