Major service coming up? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Juan P. on  Thu Aug 21 13:52 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Hi all- my '93 850 GLT is 10 miles away from turning 99,000 miles. I am going abroad to spend the fall semester in Europe in a couple of days and I would like to do a major service to the car before I leave. Just to show you how well my car is maintained, I service it by the book, every 5,000 miles as it calls for, and at the same dealer we purchased it at. Oil and filter are changed at least every 3,500 and the timing belt was changed right on the dot at 50,000. What i want to do at the next service is this: oil change, timing belt change, and transmission flush and/or fluid change (that was last done at 66,000). Do you guys have any more advice in terms of servicing, and how much will all this cost in the end?

p.s. The car will not be driven, if ever, while I am in Europe.
