Thinking of getting a 95 with 100k 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Nate on  Fri Jan 31 11:47 CST 2003 [RELATED]

From one Nate to another - the 850 is not a good choice to get at 100K miles with the goal of 200K miles !

Do yourself a favor and research the track record of this model- it is at very very best only average in reliability.

The things that break are very expensive ( A/C evaporators; Auto Transmissions; Main oil seals; etc etc)

I am the original owner of a 1995 850 turbo with 74K miles (extremely well maintained) that has been a continuous pain in the butt!

The turbo is very fun to drive and the car is solidly built. The mechanics are way way below the quality level of my Toyotas.

Good Luck !
