"The best bang for the buck I have ever purchased!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The driver seat is pretty worn out (expected for this mileage). Electrical issues with window controls. Replaced alternator belt at 290000. The power is not impressive around town.

General comments?

Incredible car for the money. I picked this car up at an auction for $800 and I put $100 in it. That included: spark plugs, wires, cap & rotor and an air filter. It boggles my mind that it runs so well for this mileage! It gets 20 in the city and around 26 on trips. I am so impressed that I am buying a 960 with 177000 miles this week.

Wait! Stop! Well, it's probably too late to warn you that the 960 is a completley different beast. It's basically a 940, EXCEPT for the fact that it has a failure-prone V6 and an electronically controlled automatic trans. that doesn't last long. You should have stuck with the 940. They are fantastic cars.

The 960 has an straight 6 cylinder engine, NOT a V6, so the previous comment is untrue and therefore displays a lack of knowledge on the part of whoever posted it. And there are 2 6 cylinder engines - 2.5 litre and a 3.0 litre.
