i have a 97 850 glt turbo with over 100K miles on it, bought used with 40K miles.

the only problem i have had (knock on wood)is the front brake rotors like to warp! after the second set of brembo solids, i installed crossdrilled zimmerman's and have not had the problem again.

i have had the usuall vacume line leaks causing the check engine light, but i guess that is a fair trade off for the turbo's heat under the hood.

basially i love the car and will keep it for as long as i can. I would recommend a 850 to others, but would advise to get a later model with verifiable maint records.

my 97 was the last of the 850 models and most of the problems from earlier models have been fixed by the model years 96-97.

how about a S70?

Dan
