Need feedback on 5 cylinder engine

posted by  someone claiming to be per crusem on  Thu May 29 11:56 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I am considering buying a nice clean 96 850 wagon non turbo. I talked to the shop owner who has done some work on my 240 (80) and he said that the 5 cylinder engine is a no clearance one and that he has had a couple come in that had broken their timing belts and recommended that I stay with the four cylinder engine. He said that to be safe the belts need to be changed about every 40 to 50k miles at about $500.
I am hoping for some other feedback on this.
Thanks; Dave
