help-would you do this? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be David from Washington State on  Sun Jun 1 20:02 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have a 1995 850, non turbo and I just passed 105,000 mi this morning. From what I can tell, its running as strong as it used to. The trannys, motors, and MY air conditioning are still great. I have heard very little complaints about these cars for the most part. They're tough, solid, bricks. The 850 was credited w/ saving the company in the mid 90's. I would recommend them to anyone - however I do not have a Turbo. The only problems I've had are, one of my horns broke (buying a junkyard one for 25 bucks) I've had a few interior light bulbs burnout - and replaced them. My driver's seat power motor is kind of broken - it works partially. And I've been getting some squeaks in the suspension (probably needs lube) but otherwise its a great little car, and I really love it.

I dont' know if that helps?
