A few months back we got this 1994 850 from a friend to replace an older used vehicle we had, it was given to us. Paint and body in good condition. Interior was somewhat dirty due to it being used to haul their family dogs, it cleaned up nicely. I am curious to what you guys think the average value of the car might be? I may have around $2000-$2300 or so in it now with all parts, no labor. I expect what I have invested is close to the estimated value.

I was also wondering what the expected gas mileage I should be expecting to get? I am now getting about 26 mpg average on the trip computer with the 5 cyl, non turbo, & automatic tranny with a nice mix of city and hwy miles.

I would like to thank Robert again for his many videos that helped me fix many of the below issues and perform several fun upgrades to the vehicle that were not standard.. You are the man..

Hi Paul, thanks for the shout out.

The value and fuel mileage estimates seem dead on. These cars are worth a lot more to the owners than anyone else.
