i have had two '91 940T sedans, and driven lots of 700 series as loaners when the 940s are in for service.
the turbo makes the car - the non-turbo 700 series just don't satisfy me, and likely won't satisfy you after you drive the turbo version. the turbo 700s are enough like the 940T in drive train for me to feel the same would be true of the non-turbo 940s.-
the 940 is a smoother and gentler car than the 700 series.
both my '91s were purchased at an advanced age, and they were no more trouble than any other ten year old car (but have your mechanic check any such out before you buy.
