General 850 Questions; prepurchase

>Important to maintain crankcase vent (PCV) or rebreathing system to limit the chance of blowing out oil seals.

I was about to be terribly disappointed in Volvo for designing a rear seal that tends to leak but if but if it is an owner maintenance issue and well maintained 850's go a long, long way without needing a seal then I am satisfied. I assume that a well maintained 850 would have no rear seal problems.

Problems with ABS is a surprise. I assume one can disable/disconnect the ABS easily and drive on without cost.

How fragile are the auto boxes? How much replace with a rebuilt unit?

Mike
