Possible purchase--what to look out for? 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be Bruce Irish on  Sat Mar 3 04:00 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I'm considering a 1997 850 with about 70K miles for my wife. Haven't seen it yet; will be looking at it next week. Any suggestions re what questions I should be asking, what paperwork I should look at (it is said to be just off-lease), and what I should crawl under and look at will be much appreciated. She is also going to be looking at a '91 240 with about 100k miles for less than half the price of the 850, and a 91 740 wagon with about 100k miles for about half the price of the 850. any suggestions re those, and relative comparisons will be noted. We tend to keep cars forever, so durability and long-term satisfaction is much more important that model year. Thanks
