1994 850 buying advice 850 1994

Those crappy evaporators often develop leaks, which was probably the cause for the new A/C. Make sure you install the cabin filter kit (not around back in '94, but retrofits easily). It will both purify the air coming through vents and prolong the life of the A/C evaporator by far. That rear main seal on the engine is known for leaking oil and is expensive to replace, only because the transmission has to be dropped to access it. I bought a '94 854 back in Feb. 2002 and it has been trouble-free for the 18k miles I have put on it (now at 89k), except that the rear main seal is leaking oil now....but that's about it.
