Hey...I'm around your area, too! I got mine from upstate NY, thanks to a buddy of mine hooked me up.
It (90, 240DL)was around 600 miles away from hitting 175K miles. The car runs very smoothly, well..fine it runs like a dream for that kind of mileage. There are few minor chips and light scratches, otherwise the paint job looks like a 2-yr old car.
You have to see it to believe it! Few weeks after the purchase, bought myself the whole line of IPD supsension goodies for that car. Except for the springs....thought IPD's would be too soft for my taste...got myself a set of OMP springs.
Now only thing I need is a good set of 16 inch wheels with some lower profile tires. After driving 225/40/18 on my FWD C70, most of the other series tires seem too tall for me.
You will not believe how well the car handles, and how nicely the chasis is built. After all...a near 50/50(52/48 i heard) RWD with such rigid chasis, will serious outhandle your 850 if you have some good suspension setup.
Believe me, if the tranny and the engine runs very well, you probably will like this car more than your FWD car.
