Replacing my high miles 850 that died this weekend 850 1994

Here's an example of a private owner ad I found. My concerns with it are: "ABS light comes on intermittently" that sounds like the dreaded PNP switch failure. A/C "needs recharging" (compressor gone). Engine service light is on - he says because it needs 100k service, but of course could be much worse. AT the least, the PNP and timing belt which will need repacing will cost me about $1000. However, low miles and good price, perhaps could talk down for the service that it needs. Original owner, and has honestly tsated these faults whereas a dealer may hide them.

How to check for oil leaks?
