This one is a stick shift with a new clutch, I just couldn't pass it up. It has an O2 sensor and SAS error that is lighting up the CEL, but that is minor. It has a PS leak, which is going to get Lucas'd. And a possible heater core leak.

It hasn't seen good maintenance in a long time and the interior is trashed. Too many Jiffy lubes and Midas mechanics. Unfortunately, the 3 850's in the bone yard all have black interior, but time is on my side. I expect to have it done in about 2 years and hopefully under $1,000 in parts.

It will get sorted and eventually marketed and I know there will be surprises. I might just bypass the SAS, but that is going to wait for spring. I don't like to work too hard when the garage floor has ice on it.

This is not a CT car, it will never pass inspection there. As the girl who sold it to me said, "Try the radio, it works great!"
