Thinking of buying 97 850. Any known issues? 850 1997

Hey y'all. After my '89 240 was rear-ended by somone going 65mph, I "up-graded," to a 740. I really could like the car except even with the seat all of the way down there is not enough headroom. I prefered the 240, but I am looking forward to maybe having a newer generation of auto.

Does anyone know if the 97 850 5 cyl, automatic is an okay car to buy? Will there be more headrooom in it than the 740? Is this thing FWD or AWD? Was hoping my engine and tranny from the 240 would fit, but they obviousley wont.

Thanks for your feedback, I am looking at the car in about two hours!
