I'm thinking of replacing my 1995 850 GLT non-turbo with a 1998 S80 T5 automatic. What problems should I look for in the T5? The T5 has

144K on it. What standard maintenance should be done at that mileage?

Thanks

Steven C. Perkins

I agree. My '01 XC70 has gone through ball joints in 105,000 miles while the '95 850 hasn't in 145,000 miles. The timing belt is critical. If in doubt, replace.
