Thinking of purchasing an 850! 850

I own a 850 GLT Wagon (non turbo) and a 98 S 70. Both are nice and reliable autos, however the ride of the 850 is a lot harder than the S 70.

I really like my 850, it is safe and very reliable. The common area problems (that I have experienced and read on Brickboard)

1: The ABS/Tracs module tends to have a high failiure rate
2: The PNP switch on the auto trans may have issues.
3: The center console door and mirror switches have a tendency of stop working due to the poor placement of cup holders above them.
