An interesting find!
Didn’t buy it in the end. Price put me off somewhat and the fact it had been stolen. Not a massive issue but worth considering.

In the end I thought it was a little steep tbh, and just didn’t feel right!

Gut feeling, instinct, you can't put a finger on it but it's there in your head.
If it doesn't feel right now it probably won't feel right in a months time either.

Or maybe you were over worried... (sorry).

As a confirmed RWD, 940 owner, what's the 850 T5 like to drive and maintain?
