Picked this up yesterday for the GF - this will be the 2nd 850 that has replaced a minivan. Note that these pics are prior to cleaning and whatnot.
It's got REALLY high miles (330kish), and a reconstructed title, but it was what she wanted and the price was right. Everything works though, and if the guy I got it from was serious, also comes with a free (but seized due to loss of oil) T5 engine and transmission. This car is a LPT with an iPd ecu, which brings it up to near stock turbo specs. It does have some minor cosmetic issues but nothing that's not easily fixed.
After driving it around a little bit today, I'm really happy with the buy. Took it to Autozone to pull the engine codes, and it's got a cyl 1 misfire. Put some fuel system cleaner in it to see if it was a fouled injector, but I'll pull the wire cover to reseat the plug wire as well as check the plugs themselves later today. Other than that, and it needing tailgate shocks, it's pretty much a DD as it sits.
For $1k, not too shabby. Though I think FCP is about to see about $300 in stage 0 goodies.
