Hello -

I am contemplating the purchase of an 850 wagon. Non-turbo, 5-speed, leather, sunroof.

Looks to be all original and well-kept. Photos in ad appear to show excellent condition.

I'm looking at the car tomorrow or friday, and wonder what specifically I should be looking for in terms of service items and weak links. I have been a 240 owner for many years, so the 850 is a completely new bird to me. The car has nearly 200k on it, so looking for any weak points or work that needs to be done that would break the bank, or what to look for in a pre-purchase inspection.

Many thanks!

Aaron
