To keep or not to keep? 850 1997

posted by  someone claiming to be tjm on  Mon Jun 2 13:44 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have an 854T5 and absolutely adore it!
I bought it used with 32,000 miles and have put 55,000 on it in 4 years.
Since buying it, warranty replacements have included shocks and struts, warped rotors, a wheel bearing, radiator replacement, turbo seals, climate control sensors (twice), foot well air vents (a very expensive job!), CV boots, and a buch of "minor" stuff.
My wife and I are currently looking to replace her Z3 with a low milage V70R, and when the T5 hits 100K miles it's gonna get replaced with a newer T5.

My advice - sell the old 850, get a 1999 or 2000 S70 with around 35,000 miles and negotiate hard for an 85,000 mile extended warranty.
