Good morning Gents, I have found a 95 850GLT with under 54,000 miles. Thinking about buying it for my daughter. If in good shape do you think it is worth 3750.00. Will definately do a code and mileage check. Here is the add.

I'd jump on that car! That's a very fair price for a car that's barely broken in. Do a car fax on it as well, make sure it isn't a salvage title or something, although the code reader will tell you actual mileage...unless the crook is REALLY good and knows how to reset the ecu.
That's the same car I have now only I have 100K more miles on it.
How are the seats?

ya know...in retrospect...the maintenance they listed seems a bit premature for a car with 53K...

Although its not at the 70,000 mile mark I would slap a new timing belt on it. The interval is 5 years / 70,000 miles.
