I bought my 96 850 new. I have had many cars over the years, but never kept one as long as this 850--I still have no desire to trade as this is the best car I have ever had. Yes, they do require a little maintenance to stay ahead of the game and I do most of it myself (only Mobil 1 for crank and ATF). Do the common sense things like replacing fluids regularly, treat the leather with Leatherique, change the timing belt when required, etc., and this car should run well over 200K miles reliably. Mine still looks new and will blow the doors off many. There have been posts here with 350K+ miles.

So If you have found a well maintained 850, go for it!
