You may have read about my recent 760 turbo wagon (188k) trouble and what I think is an insane amount of repair work. But maybe it isn't for this type car, I don't know.
My Dad and I I have spent nearly $2000 buying parts and putting this car in the shop since I got it 4 months ago .

I looked at a 1997 850 wagon (non-turbo) w/all the papers. It drove pretty sweet and looked nice. But I just don't know whether to ride out the 760 or get out and try something more current. Also, I know very little about the 850's and anything or place you can point me to would be appreciated for more info. Or models, model years or such that should be avoided.


Thanks
Philip
