As an earlier poster mentioned, experiences vary greatly. I just passed 110K. Very minimal issues in the 2 years I've had it (mostly interior bits and pieces)--nothing terrifying. These cars do seem to do better as they age--forum is littered with stories of huge warranty repairs back when these cars were newer. I could just be lucky but I'd also caution you to keep a "big picture" view as the car ages--running to the dealer for every non-essential or cosmetic issue just burns money with no real payback. Older 850/70's aren't worth much. Just sit back and enjoy--they really are great driver's cars.
