High mileage 850 850


I have a 240, so I am normally on the rear wheel drive board.

Today, I hope you guys on the 850 board can help me with a few questions.

Haven't looked at this yet, but would I be crazy to even consider a 1995 855GLT wagon with 170K?? Supposed to be in outstanding condition. Has a 5 speed. How do the 5 speeds drive? Sporty? Are they durable? I know the 93's (maybe 94's too?) had auto tranny trouble.

What other problems should I look for?

What's a fair price for car like this? I'm in N.E.

Thanks,

Jim

    Rick850R used Trade In Values, you're buying from either a dealer or private seller, you're not trading a car in. The 5 speeds from what I hear generally have less problems. This is the Pricing Report for Massachusetts where I live from Kelley Blue Book (kbb.com).

    For $4000, which is what the Kelly blue book says for New York City, and you may be able to get another 100000 miles from it. You must remember that it may possibly nickel and dime you, or not. Have a real good mechanic check it out first. I owned a 94 850 base model from new with a 5 spd and had zero issues. It was a fun car to drive.
    Hopefully this helps:

    "Excellent" condition means that the vehicle looks great, is in excellent mechanical condition and needs no reconditioning. It should pass a smog inspection. The engine compartment should be clean, with no fluid leaks. The paint is glossy and the body and interior are free of any wear or visible defects. There is no rust. The tires are the proper size and match and are new or nearly new. A clean title history is assumed. This is an exceptional vehicle.
