As I understand it, this was the first model year for the 850. I'm planning to go look at a '93 850GLT as a first car for a teen. Has 140K miles, seems reasonably priced for Seattle area at under $3500. Were there any major quality problems with this first year? I've had a '97 850GLT for about two years and aside from some of the electronic quirks (ABS) and incessant brake squealing I've really enjoyed the car. I'm a little concerned the '93 may be too much car for a teen (power wise). I really like the 240 body style and have been looking for one for a couple of months but for some reason in the northwest, 240's command a considerable premium over the early 90's 740 and even 850 body styles. Anyone have theories why?

One more question - is it true the '93 850 has passenger side airbags as well? Any testamonies or 'heads up' on what to watch out for are much appreciated!
