My 850 turbo has 148000 miles and will just not quit, and so I'm wondering how many more miles should I expect out of it? It has been extremely well maintained and uses about a quart every 3000 miles, brake flush done, new power steering rack, many other new parts.
So, how many miles have some of you racked up with minimum maintenance?
1995 850T How many miles does your 850 have?

94 855 Turbo.
335xxx on the last engine.
164xxx on the current engine and transmission.
Chassis has 339xxx miles.
I don't putting things off. I fix stuff when they break, do maintenance when the schedule calls for it.

Smokes like a chimney.
Needs valve seals and a head gasket.

142000, drives like new. Literally. Doesn't burn a drop of oil. Religious oil changes with synthetic every 5000. Serviced at dealer since day 1. Not a single scratch on the car at all. I hope to get another 140 easily.

'96 850 wagon 152k runs strong, sounds good with HP cat, but leaking a little from the RMS
'98 S70 (same as 850 with updated body) 223k runs strong
No CELs, straight clean bodies, exceptional interiors, always garaged, synthetic oil since break in
I will say that after 16 years of ownership it requires more to keep both in tip top shape. This may be because I'm aging right along with the cars.

189xxx miles just did head gasket, New rad, small things that needed attention. Hope to have rectified the PO's deception and lack of maintaining these cars. Still need a fuel filter change, and looking for the xc70 caliper mounts to do big brakes. Body is solid but needs paint.
