I have a 95 850 (110K+ original owner) and a 80 240 (200K+ owned several years ) I have done all my maintenace on both cars. I am the exception and find the 850 easier to work on. I have had less problems with my 850. I have found that the key to working on either car is do not skimp on the tools. You don't need to drop a bundle but have the right tools. Use OEM or comprable parts( ie Bosh , Mann filters etc.) They fit well work well. I have fortunatly not have had any electrical problems with my 850. The 240 makes me shutter when I think about it wire harness, wipers, radio, lights ignition system yadie yadie yadie . The 850...... zero ( oh yea two or three light bulbs.. easy )

Good Luck
Lee
