Yes. 700

I have an 96 850 and an 89 760 turbo, the 760 was rearended and declared a total, I still enjoy it more than the 850. Mine has 170,000 and still running strong.

Problems in 3 years with 760:

Windows stopped working -- 2 hours and $0 to clean some electrical contacts in the switches.

Passneger Butt warmer -- removed switch reconnected wires. $0 10 minutes

Headliner falling -- industrial grade aerosol contact cement and the nozzle from a can of WD-40 $10.50 15 minutes

transmission filler tube -- stupid idiot at Jiffy Lube, lost his balance and bent the tube while holding on, causing serious loss of Tranny fluid. $170(their money not mine)

regular upkeep items -- oil, timing belt, air filters tires, etc.

Seats -- still look brand new

The 850 4.5 months

AirPump & SAS valve -- $350 1 hour

Cruise control -- has only worked when it want'd to, no vacumn leeks.

SRS light -- I fear finding what is wrong.

Power seat -- only Memory position 3 works

Seat leather -- looks like crap, severely cracked and faded.

Dash -- to many rattles and sqeeks to list.



Well let's see a 14 year old car that is a solid car or a 7 year old car that is troublesome
