Fred,
As others have mentioned, it sounds as if you now own a '93 850... Some searching on the Board will come up with good results, but the big items to look for would be: timing belts are narrower on a '93 which warrant 50k mile changes to avoid catastrophic engine consequences. Also, the transmissions seem to have a shorter life expectancy; mine was replaced about 30k miles prior to the purchase of mine. As mentioned in other posts the AC is a problem spot to check out. Good luck with the purchase...
