Looking to purchase an 850 850

I'm also in the market for an 850, and asked a similar question a few months ago. I won't try to repeat all that was said in response to my inquiry and to other similar inquiries, but one of the problems that keeps coming up is the AC evaporator, which apparently can go out frequently and be in the neighborhood of $1000 to fix. Posters on this board have also said to make sure to change the timing belt every 70,000 miles. Failure to do this can result in VERY expensive damage to the engine.

(If others don't chime in here with other potential problems, do a search through the archives of this board for similar inquiries.)
