Both cars are still young but approaching the age where shocks/struts, bushings, and other wear parts are starting to go. The parts for the 945 are cheaper and the 4 cyl engine is easier to work on. The 855 is a little smaller but quieter, has a good climate control, and is a bear to work on.

They both have their +/-, and it will probably come down to which is better for the daily commute and garbage hauling. I like the seats in the 855 better, and that is most important to me.

If there is a pick&pull, check the availability of both cars. Spare parts are a premium these days.
