looking at 850 turbo 850 1995

Good car but from my experience:
1. Expect to pay approx $1000 per year in maintenance/repairs.
2. Get Timing belt replaced if not done at 70K.
3. If AC evaporator has not been replaced, most likely shot or will
be soon ($1500).
4. Check for oil leaks.
5. Check CV boot shafts.

Be prepared to spend money on it. Great car but will require repairs.
In my experience, the costs are comparable to Jap cars (had Subaru Toyotas),
providing you are willing to make the comitment and keep it for a long time.
