Finally.
Finally I have a wagon.
Canuckvolvo originally imported this car from New Jersey in 2004. It spent the better part of a decade in Calgary before he moved to British Columbia. Then, in the last few days of July 2013, at 177,560 miles (284,096 kms) it became mine. Mine!
Since this is a 1995 car, it's got a few goodies that set it apart from previous 940s. '95-'98 940s saw little improvements all over the place, bringing them closer to the massive 960 facelift in 1995. These additions include the glass moonroof, power seats with memory, new door soundproofing, and ambiguous non-turbo badging. Also, they no longer have boost gauges. The only way to tell that it was a factory turbo car was to look under the hood. Weird marketing tactics to sell more 850s, apparently.
How it sits currently, more or less:
New rims shortly after I got the car:
