Hey there ...

I have been doing a good amount of research on purchasing an old 850 1997 wagon .... I have found a good one with about 60K miles on it, owned by one person .....

Does anyone know what the usual problems are for this year and this model (base model)?

I have heard a couple of things like rack and pinion steering and electrical ... not sure about transmission ...

Can you tell me a little about the problems that you have encountered or what to look out for? I want to take it for an inspection, but want to be sure it is a good, solid car.

ALso, any suggestions for pricing from a private seller?

Thanks!
