Hi:
have a 240 wagon that has significant rust and other issues, so I thought about getting something else for a Daily Driver, and then ship on to needy relative next year.I like all the parts and info on 240's, but a CL ad has a poorly written ad that, after extended phone conversation, turns out to be a 96 850 wagon, AT/AC, ETC. $1500 from the "owner" of a towing service. Supposedly runs well.Indiana car, had a ball joint and "axle" replaced, claimed 126k, which sounds low for almost 20 years. Any thoughts? not familiar with car or engine, usual procedure would be replace cooling system, redo brakes via calipers, pads, possibly rotors, all new synthetic fluids, go from there. Don't want to spend a huge amount but ok to spend a little more if car kept in family and/or improve resale. Comments? I'm not really sure what an 850 is close relative of, but newer electronic cars are not appealing.
