Bob the car has been neglected pretty bad. Yes there was a recall on the shift lockout switch, that the current owner never bothered to get replaced ($200). The A/C evap replacement will run you about $1500. The timing belt replacement isn't near as easy as your 940, it'll run you about $400. Front wheel drive cars go through CV joints, another $600. Tires, another $600. If it is just the O2 sensors why hasn't he replace them? Would you try to sell a car with the Check Engine Light glowing at a perspective buyer? WTFO? Another $500. If you have a OBDII code reader you could read the codes that are actually triggering the CEL light but that's not your job as a buyer. The CEL light is the owner's problem to fix prior to selling anyone the car. I have to say, you've stumbled on a crapbox. You can expect the transmission to take a crap shortly (Do you think he changed the tranny fluid every 30k miles? LOL ). If you care about your kid and what she drives go find a BMW or something else rear wheel drive. An old front wheel drive car is going to eat your lunch in repairs. They're designed with cheap manufacturing in mind, not longevity. Good luck in your hunt.
