buying an 850, what should i look out for? 850

posted by  someone claiming to be brad on  Mon Mar 8 10:42 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Depending on the year.
1. Rear main seal. (usually they go around 140k ) so this may already have been replaced.

2. Tranny failure. Worst in 93 better in 94 onwards.

3. A/c evaporator. Big job as the dash board has to come out. Can cost
2k.

4. I have heard that on 96 the ABS modules is also a problem, but not sure
of the cost.

By the way if I may ask what year and model is the car and what is the asking price. ?
