Looking to get into an 850, HELP!! 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Skip on  Fri Nov 15 08:39 CST 2002 [RELATED]

We've owned a '93 almost 10 years and pretty much agree. The wheels are 4 bolt and that's the only year for them. No turbo or wagon available. Transmissions were suspect (ours was replaced late in warranty period). There was a really strange problem that caused water splashing up from the road to drain onto the accessory belt, causing loss of power steering and lots of dashboard lights. Corrected by service bulletin. 115K mi. now and no problems in years. A little ho-hum but my wife loves it. Will be keeping for many years. (the car AND the wife).
My fun drive is my '96 850R. That one IS for sale if you are interested check ipd classifieds. Easton, PA
