If you have good maintenance records for the car and a good price, I'd go for it as these are great cars. Owned my 96 850T since new (115K miles now) and love it. I haven't found mine to be maintenance intensive at all--replaced upper and lower engine mounts and other routine maintenance items, sway bar endlinks (they tend to go but are easy to replace) and put in Bilstein HD struts and shocks plus IPD swaybar at 100K. The last item was a fabulous improvement in handling!

The only unexpected failure was the cam position sensor at 40K miles.

Just be sure you are diligent with all the routine maint and the car will take car of you. And, you will have a lot more fun with this model than your current one!
