The car in question I test drove today. It is an 850 wagon 1996 with 122000 miles and was just traded in and has not gone through the shop for it's check up.

Anyway my impressions - car looks good, minor dents and dings, performed well on the drive, no shakes or shimmies and all instruments seemed to operate.

My concerns are - ABS light on, Trac light on, oil leak (appears to be around the dip stick but hard to tell), small amout of smoke? coming out from around the dip stick cap when running at end of 10 min drive, electronic entry system did not work.

What other things might rear their ugly head if one were to purchase this car?

Dealer is asking 7500.00 after the car goes through the shop. Ideas?

Thanks
