Good or bad move

Going to look at a 850 2ltr 20 valve estate this aft, not being a very wealthy person is this a wise idea or should I stick to looking for a 940 ?

Aslong as it needs no work (you can hope) and you don't hammer it no probs!

I'm sure mpg is much better than my V70R

What sort of mpg do ya get out of the V70 ?

850s are good cars. Go for a 2.5 as it will be faster and has the same fuel economy as a 2 litre.

The way I drive between 20-25mpg but I've an overweight foot! should be able to get 30mpg if you drive carefully or on motorway.

Oooops, too late, decided to go for it, collect it next week, so I'll probably be back with a bucket full of questions for ya.

Just don't ask if it's supposed to be this thirsty.....

I have a hate/love relationship with my 855 T5. But they are good cars.
