Should I buy an 850 t5 wagon

posted by  someone claiming to be Stormin Norman on  Sat Aug 28 04:08 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Most of these cars are very good, if they get the appropriate maintenance. Most of the tranny horror stories are due to lack of fluid changes, lots of A/C problems are due to not changing the cabin filter.

Search the board, you will find lots of tips for what to look for when buying one of these cars. A good one is easily good for 2 - 300k. The 96 & 97 models have the best track record. Early S70s are good also. AWD has been troublesome.
