Post Test Drive analysis........ 850 1997

Ok, it appears to be in good-great condition, pretty dirty, but that's understandable for where we live. One small chip in the windshield, and a tiny ding in the right front fender. It pulls ever so slightly to the right during acceleration, steady speed, and braking, (I think it just needs an alignment). Also, it was very sluggish to start at first (cranked over very slowly) but after driving for 15 minutes I shut it down and it fired right back up without any hesitation. It does have 97k, and the timing belt was changed within the past year (20V engine: is this the model with one serpentine belt for the whole engine?) Any suggestions or advice is greatly appreciated, I didn't give the guy any money yet, but we do have 'dibs' on it. Thanks - Kevin
