What do I need to know about 850s? Considering a purchase. 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be billy dee on  Tue May 20 09:30 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Is it a GLT(a low pressure Turbo) or T5 or R(both high pressure turbo). If it either of the latter, go for it(provided there are no major problems). I would still buy is it's a GLT, but at a cheaper price. The milage is reasonable and depending on options a very nice mix of luxury & performance. Have an indie mech. check out for AC, Tranny, compression, suspension etc. Overall, there is more good reasons to buy this model year than not. $8Gs sound like a good price to me, cause you always have to tune it up right away to get a base point for future maintance. good luck,D
