Hi guys, sorry for the long story

I'm having a look on a fully loaded 160K miles '94 turbowagon and I'm "not sure" yet how much this car worth.... the lady "wants" $3K for it

Almost all MILs are on: SRS, ABS, TRACS, CHECK ENGINE with an intermittent flashing arrow (--> PNP switch I beleive)

There's a persistant "clunk" on the left side, I'd guess it's the strut because the control arms, sway bar links and the tie rod ends has been replaced latelly on both sides. The rear shocks are leaking a bit, the front & rears brake discs with pads needs all to be replaced. Also, an overall tune-up is required: plugs, wires, distributor cap, all filters, ATF, coolant, brake fluid ect ect. The cruise control is not working. The lady bought the car in april 2004 w/o service records and owner's manual.

I'm wondering if it's worth to buy that car and invest some money to fix it because the car looks surprisingly quite clean in and out and quite powerfull too !! --> Turbo

I already own two sedan 850s N/A (a '95 & a '96) and I'm doing most the service repairs on them. (a T-belt replacement with the water pump & pulleys, bearing hubs, control arms ect ect.... doesn't scare me AT ALL

Any thoughts/comments are welcome

BTW: I've pulled out "few" DTC's ---> here's the list below: It looks a lot but as you can see, I'd guess that some of them are related to the same problem source.

I'd appreciate if someones could fill the blanks on B1, B2 & B5 and/or give some additionnal details/comments on the other ones.
