Looking at a '95 850 850

I'm looking for some advice about possibly buying a '95 850GLT Turbo automatic. It was owned by an old lady, who only put 70k on it. The dealer's asking $10900, which I researched, isn't too bad, but I figure I could get them down a little. Anyway, I've been the owner of a '92 240 for the last 3years, and it's been a GREAT car. I've learned so much about this car working on it, it's so easy, so I was wondering how owning an 850 compares to a 240 in terms of doing my own repairs. I've heard (through other people, not neccessarily via the brickboard) that they're relatively hard to work on due to the lack of engine bay room (more cylinders). Any tips I should know about this year, things to look out for, or should I just look for a '97, or screw it and look for an S70?

Thanks in advance,
Seth
'92 244, 217k
