Thoughts on a 1992 940 GLE Turbo Wagon Purchase 900 1992

Thanks so much for your reply. I was able to get the VIN for this car, and it checks out OK by Carfax. It is a one-owner car with 124,000 miles and less than $2,000. This car was traded at the dealer and sold at auction to a small car lot near where I live. The person who works there and drove it home over the weekend said that it drives fine and has an OK interior. The body is in good shape. He said that the exhaust manifold gasket needs to be replaced, and they will have that fixed. Pennsylvania inspection is good through next month.

The label on the back clearly says "940 Turbo." The Carfax thing shows it as a "2.3L L4 FI SOHC," whatever that means! In checking this out more online, it looks like this could have the 16-valve engine. Carfax is what says it's a "940/GLE." As said, the back of the car in the pictures just shows "940 Turbo." It does have a moonroof, so it very well likely could be a GLE.

If this car is not recommended, then I'm glad I found out before driving over an hour to look at it. I'm also disappointed, though. Is this just a tough time to find an old wagon? I swear, a month ago they were all over the place. Now, not much!

Thanks again,

Susan
