I hessitated to buy a 960 for two years during which time I purchased a 745 (NA) and looked for a low mileage 945T or 760T. This past Jan, I finally got fed up with the lack of HP and comfort (I suppose I am experiencing my mid life crisis) and, after comparing the 965 with MB 300 series wagons and BMW 525 wagons, purchased a 96 965 with 70K miles. I now have 73K miles and NO REGRETS!! Best car I have ever had. My wife, who does not get to excited about cars (she drives a 95 944) agrees (I was scared that she might claim it for hers since I always let her have the best car). No problems except (relative to my 245, 745 and 944) poor gas mileage (about 16 in the city, 20 mixed...however, hwy mileage is good at about 27+). I will change to synthetic fluids this upcoming week and plan to Lexol the interior. If you shop wisely, you'll be wondering why you waited so long. I honestly cannot say enough about the smoothness, handling, acceleration and comfort.

Good luck!
