Highest-mileage 850 you know of 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike in Toronto on  Fri Sep 19 03:41 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have a 1996 855 GLE (10 valve)with a manual transmission that I bought new. Currently it is about to roll 290K (180,000 mi). I have not been meticulous in maintenance, have done regular oil changes and belt replacements but it still has the original shocks. I have replaced the clutch once and will probably have to do it again before year end. The cloth upholstry has held up remarkably well despite two kids, dog and numerous loads to cottage, lumber store and dump. Still looks great and I would like to see how far it will go; maybe 500K+. Hard to find a large wagon these days with a manual transmission so I think it will be a keeper.
