    Are you sure it is a 960 wagon? I didn't think the 960 existed in '91. What part of the world are you in?

    Only issue I would worry about is a problem with valve stem deposits that can make the exhaust valves stick bad enough to hit. Usually only a problem with engines that have minimal oil changes and have a lot of "slow around town" miles. Not a problem for engines that have frequent oil changes and/or use synthetic plus get driven hard with frequent RPM excursions above 4000 RPM.

    Intake manifiold gaskets have been a problem on many cars. Not an expensive part but a good amount of labor to change.

    Basic engine should go 300K with good care I hope. I love my car!
