Hi,

I'm about to go check out an old 87 740 Wagon, non turbo. It's only got 98,000 miles and is in good shape according to the ad. I've wanted an old brick for a long time and now that I actually have need for a wagon it's about time I got one. I've heard the old 740s are rock solid, and the price on this one is near unbeatable ($1500/obo). Is there anything I should look for while checking it out? Most of the common problems I've heard of relate to other models (the 850, mostly), but there's gotta be something.

One other thing I'm curious about is adding a turbo to an NA car after the fact. If I think I'm going to want a turbo should I just get one off the bat? I can live with slower for now if the mileage is better, though.

Sorry for the newbsauce here, i'm completely new to these.
