Replacing my high miles 850 that died this weekend 850 1994

I prefer to find cars from private owners rather than dealers or lots.

The later the better with any model, IMHO -- the best year for the 850 was 97, for example.

Look for a car that's not TOO LOW mileage, as that would indicate that it might have been sitting for some time (if the current owner has records for a significant period of time, this might not matter).

850s can last a lot of miles if they're taken care of -- I have 206K on my 97 850 and it's still tight as a drum.

Indy mechanics can be a good lead in this area -- they may know if there's a car they've been looking after that might be coming on the market.
