I have a little more info on Cars #1 and #2. I've written off car #3 - I just don't want the hassle of the AWD.



Car #1
Car #1
1996 850 Wagon
134000 miles (216000 Kms)
Basically one owner.
Good service records history (haven't seen them though).
Driver's front wheel bearing/hub assembly 2 weeks ago.
The car is pretty much fully loaded with options (except sunroof).
It has leather, heated seats, power evereything.
The Air Conditioning does not work. The compressor turns, but a pressure switch is not closing. ****UPDATE: it has not worked for about a year - owner suspects it died from not being turned on during last winter. Possible it suffers from EVAP trouble as well****
Other than the A/C, everything works and the car runs great. (says the current owner)
There is some rust on the left rear door, but other than that the body is very solid, as are the floors. (says the owner)



Car #2
1996 850 Wagon
250,000km
cloth seats
**** UPDATE:
A/C has not worked for 3 years - Evaporator is dead

1986 760 (B230FT) 420k+
