Well it had a few things wrong that go along with a 20 year old car. Cruise didn't work, front speakers don't work. But the suspension and gearbox felt great. Engine performance felt great also.

I found a 1995 850 Turbo for sale with 178k miles. I went and looked at it today. It's a bit rough around the edges but I love the car. Rides great, feels great, etc. And it's a steal of a price.
