Hi all. My next-door neighbor is selling his 850 turbo wagon for $2,500. Has 96K.

I've got 2 240s and a 740 so when I looked at the engine etc, it was all so very unfamiliar.

I'd appreciate any tips on what to look for/expect on this car. ie, expensive trouble points. good year for the 850? I'd have it professionally checked before agreeing to buy. Does the price sound good based on this little info? (It's under bluebook). It appears to have been well maintained but I'll look into that. Interference engine I believe so timing belt critical? I'm getting much better at fixing the other cars, due in large measure to my ongoing brickboard education, but wonder if I'd be starting from scratch with this.

The body looks great, the engine compartment clean, the leather seats are in good shape with some wear on driver seat. That's about all I know so far.

I won't haggle with him but take it or leave it based on advice and the checkup--seems the neighborly thing to do. Thanks for any thoughts.
