New member, purchasing (?) an 850 - Advice needed

The 850s are fun, but can be finicky. Here are common problems you'll probably encounter:
1. The Air Conditioner Evaporator on these things leak. In Canada this may not be such a big deal, and it is relatively easy to add 134 to recharge. Search this site for instx.

2. Seat heaters-sometimes the wires break off to the heating element. Easy to fix, but a pain nonetheless.

3. ShiftLock switch. A small hassle, but you sometimes have to hit the SHIFTLOCK button to get out of park.

Good luck.
