Looking at a 850R, what problems to look for?
FNG here and I have a question for you all.
Im going to look at a 1997 850R tomorrow and would like to know what problem areas to check. I live in Michigan so if there are any known rust areas do tell.
What I do know;
1997 850R, Red paint
140,000 miles, Automatic of course
Problems: Left rear door will not open. Not sure why, bad lock cylinder? Headliner is falling down. The AC needs to be recharged.
Thanks for any help and look forward to joining the 850 family.
Edit: Wanted to add some more info from the seller; trans wont shift from park (random issue, does not happen everytime), I suspect the brake switch or ingnition switch.
