In Reply to: 850 Turbo "shelf life"? posted by Greg on August 14, 2002 at 08:52:08:

I don't know of one 850 owner that had to replace his turbo. The failed turbo has kinda become an urban myth brought on by real, early (1970s, 1980s) failure rates. The problems have been worked out long ago.

It's like the saying 'Computers Are Hard To Use'. They were, once.

You should get for it whatever a broad average of valuation tools says you should get. www.carpoint.com, Kelly (sp?) Blue Book etc. The dealers are just being, well, dealers.
