In Reply to: Re: to buy 850 turbo or 960 posted by Matthew on May 06, 2002 at 13:28:50:

I've got a 1996 850 Turbo and a 1995 960. The 960 has 191 HP and the 850 turbo has 222 HP. The 960 is RWD, the 850 FWD.

1. 850 - 85,891 miles - still running strong 960 - 78,000 miles - fan's about to go...

2. 850 - 85,891 miles (since new non-warranty costs about $2,500) 960 - 78,000 miles (since new non-warranty costs about $1,900)

3. 850 - 18 MPG (lead foot) 960 - 25 MPG

4. 850 - harsher ride, but more power 960 - much plsuher ride, soft handling, enough power, barely

5. At this point in time, the 850 is worth about $2500 more than the 960, but the 850's a 96 and the 960 a 95.

6. Ditto to Matthew, use www.kbb.com www.carfax.com www.carpoint.com
