To Buy or not to Buy? 850 1996

Aircondition is a weak point on the 850 evaporator alway leak and need replace every 2 years... cost aout $1000 each time... but you can just recharge the system every year or 2 for for $20 if you buy the kit and do it yourself that what most do.

transmision is not a problem with 1996..it weak on early car..mainly 93,94

electrical not a problem with 96....

in short it is a good car....

Now do this 850 have very poor ride .. ride it over a pump any pump and see how you feel for few times...
