Buying the 850 850

posted by  someone claiming to be Blake on  Mon Sep 12 06:25 CST 2005 [RELATED]

Howdy fellow brickers,
Well I think I'm going to buy the 96 850 (I thought it said 97, but it's a 96) with the mannual. I got a few questions, first I heard some valves clicking when we first started up the car. I was told it was sitting for about 2 weeks, also the battery was flat. The oil looks kinda of old so do you think that valve clicking will clear up if I change the oil? Or could this be something bad... Second question, how are the CV joints? When I was test drive I was a little ruff on it in second gear (tires broke loose) and I was thinking that even though I won't generally drive the car that hard I know that this will happen a few more times ;-). Anywho, has anyone ever broken CV joint like that? Finally what is that site were you can get the repalcement odo gears? I replaced it in my 240, but I forgot the site name, I think it odogears.com but not sure.
Thanks guys,
Blake
