Pros and cons about 850s......... 850 1995

Durability, Durbability, and oh yeah Durability.

Living in NH and being from ME. where the roads suck and winters are tough, it never ceases to amaze me how many 240s I see on the road that are 20 years old with little or no rust and 300,000 miles on them. I thought this was just a trait of the rugged old 240s, but I am seeing plenty of 850s that are now almost 10 years old with 250,000 miles on them and one where I get my car serviced has over 300,000 on it.

I can't think of another brand of car that is this comfortable (best seats in the world!!!) This safe and durable and doesn't cost you a bank fortune to fix like a Mercedes.
