I currently drive a good working '92 740 Turbo Wagon with 152,000 miles that was my first Brick purchased 3 years ago with only 132,000 miles. I have replaced the usual parts on this great machine,timing belt,water pump,all hoses, Heater Core, exhaust system, fuel filter,FPR, tires, blower motor and some other parts.
I'm thinking of getting a '93-'95 940 Sedan, preferably a Turbo and was wondering if you Bricksters can give me some input on this, good or bad.

THANX

Tom & Jeff,
Thanks for the feedback. Both of you have confirmed my doubts about doing this trade.Especially the fact that I definitely will not be able to recoup my original purchase price of my 740, let alone what I have spent on it already.
It would take a better maintained '93-'95 with not more than 120,000 miles to change my mine. Plus like you said the wagon has been more than adequate for hauling almost anything I get at Home Depot & Lowes.

Since time is on your side keep an eye out for the best you can find, condition and mileage. 95% of them are in the deferred maintenance mode and need a lot of catch up work. I drive both a turbo and two normally aspirated versions. If I had to pick one, I’d take the non-turbo for the economy. The ’94 and ’95s have the cylinder oil squirters and dual air bags. Normally aspirated 940s will have a Rex/Regina ignition/fuel system or an EZ116K/LH2.4. Either one is just as dependable.

Warning on the sedan that you want. Unless you have a pickumup truck you’ll miss the wagon.

Tom Welcoming a new addition to the family. Its, well, a 944 with tilt steering.

It's essentially the same car. If yours is well maintained, I'd say hold on to it, because every time you buy a new/used car, you're exposing yourself to a degree of risk. At least you know what you have with yours. Besides, you'd get an insultingly low price for your perfectly good 740.

Just my 3 cents... adjusted for inflation.
