I would be looking very hard at maintenance with such a high mileage. Are there any service records or any history. It can look in good shape externally but could eat up a lot of money if it has been neglected. Routine maintenance is extremely important on the turbo versions. The car is only ten thousand miles from its second timing belt replacement!. I would be putting the car on the lift and examining the engine, turbo and transmission for leaks,checking the suspension and brakes, checking the serpentine belt and taking a good look at the condiiton of the plug wires, distributor cap etc. The turbo versions of the 850 can be the best and most satisfying buy in the range but conversely could cost you an arm and two legs!!
