Eric: good points.

One point of disagreement: the turbo doesn't fall into the category of "gratuitious junk." I've never driven a non-turbo 850, but people on this board say the turbo makes a pretty big difference in performance, and I've never heard of any problems with 850's that are particular to turbo models--only the occassional regret from people that didn't spring for the turbo.

You're right about the leather seats, though. I live in a dry climate, so I spend quite a bit of time conditioning the seats to stem the cracking of the leather.

Nice to hear about the healthy market for 240's in Seattle!
