What are common problems 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be sam hotchkiss on  Sun Oct 20 07:01 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I bought a '93 850GLT (non-turbo) 2 months ago, and I've driven 10,000 miles on it already, so i'll give my input. First of all, in the past year (since I sold my Volvo 740) I've owned a BMW 635CSi and a Saab 9-3, and I learned that I'd taken the reliability of my 740 for granted. I love my 850. I live in the rocky mountains, and I've taken it all over Colorado and Utah in the past two months. The only major problem that I've encountered is an Oil leak. I knew this when I bought the car-- It loses about a quart of oil every 1500 miles. It has seemed to go through brake pads pretty quickly-- the rear pads were at 35% when i bought the car, and I just got those replaced last week. I blew a tire last night-- oh well, I guess that just means it's time to put snow tires on. Mine has a manual tranny, and it's just awesome. Alright, i've rambled long enough. In short: buy the car, they are awesome.


Buy it.
