Should I walk away? 850 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be 850orNot on  Tue Dec 6 16:49 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Well I am in the market for an 850 and have narrowed it down to a 96 or 97. I found this car locally and was wondering if its too good to be true.

I won't be able to see the car for another week, but the owner says that the AC is working only half the time, and that the ABS/Tracs light is on. From my research here, that seems to be the 2 most common, but expensive problems with the 850. Should I just say No thanks to this? How much really would it cost to fix whatever problems there may be?
Thanks in advance
