All of the 97 850GLT's have the light pressure turbo. Nice car. Almost bought one. LPT's have a low rpm maximum torque rating so there is little to no turbo lag. IMO - don't let the turbo deter you. Especially with such low mileage, if the car has been well cared for you'll most likely have a nice (albeit fast) family car.

Just a thought - I have a very nice 95 NA 855 and live in Mass. Sounds crazy, but maybe we could work out some sort of trade? I would consider having a turbo if it's been well cared for...
