1995 850 non-turbo wagon...160,000 miles, loses practically no oil, no rust.
What it does need is: Steering rack, exhaust manifold...some minor body work.
We have owned this car since new... I don't know when to 'pack it in'. How long do these engines/ gearboxes last? I have no idea of the cost to fix the manifold or steering rack (we use an independent shop, but he says that he doesn't know until it's apart)...
What would you do? $25,000+ for a newish car or fix the old one....
