only 23k miles on it? Why does it have so few miles? I've got a 1994 855, and it's awsome. I'd definitely recommend it if it's in great shape.

The inline-5 out of the 850 is also a much better engine than what's in your 730, imho... But the 850 is front-wheel drive, as where your 740 is rear-wheel drive... I think the 850 handels a lot better, but that's all dependent on how you drive, and what you do. Also, the 850 is likely an auto tranny -- another personal choice whether you like auto or manual.
