are the best years of the 850/70 series, before the new dreaded Electronic throttle was introduced.

The GLT is a light pressure turbo, which is nice, BUT

the mileage scares me. 30K miles for a 7+ yr old car indicates the car was used by a little old lady that drove the car one mile to the grocery store and back.

I heard of engines blown because of sludge build up and this would be the perfect example of the engine that will fail bbecause of sludge. The engine never reaches optimum operating temperature, which is required by moving engine parts to get well lubricated.
