Looking at an 850 850

As a 240 driver and fixer for the last 15 years, currently having 3 240's in the fleet, I am considering an 850. What can my friends here on the board tell me about the common ails? The one I'm looking at is a 95 white 850 with approx 153,000 speedo stopped working at 120,000 owner has carfax to do the guessing he says. Car drives well, has minor problems such as some scuffs on the plastic bumper covers, broken upper motor mount, broken antenna, cracked driver side headlight. He is asking 2700. I will be looking at the maint records today and looking at it for the second time.

Any other helpful input as to what to expect or look for?

Thank you very much for your input.

Mark
