Re: Help with 850 850 1996

The accessory (serpintine) belt is replaced at 60K.

The timing belt is at 70K.

You can check the owners manual for these items (and

hand write in "replace thermostat at 70K" if you buy the

car since that part seems to be failing around 70K).

At 60K I would think a set of brake pads on the front

and rear would be needed (30K on front and 60K on rear

is about normal wear). Brake rotors may also be close

to needing replacement at 60K (I know they are on our 95

with 50K miles - I plan on replacing rotors and pads

at 60K). You can feel the lip on the edge of the rotor

to get an idea of wear (there is no lip when new).

The big item: Air bags need replacing after 10 years (says

so right on the sticker in the door jam).
