Looking at an 850 850

check the rear seal - it could well be due and if it goes its engine out....so big money

also look hard at the brakes they are probably due disks...

the radiator is about due....

the plug leads are similarly due (more $ than you might think!)

check the clutch, though this can be combined with a rear seal job (actually would be cos you would be NUTS to do one without the other)

rear parking brake shoes will prabably be delaminating (but thats not a biggy)

check the door stop straps -they are a weak point.

check the engine moutns (agian the top one is easy, the others not so easy)...

jsut common sense really...
