The rest of the world called the 850 Turbo "850 T5". In North America
the 850 Turbo became the 850 T5 in 1997. So these 2 cars are basically
the same, same power, same suspension, I don't see any benefit to you.
You have a car with lower mileage, that you know the history of, that's
"almost perfect in everyway." You end up with a car that's OBD-II
compliant, where you need a special tool to read any trouble codes
(check engine, ABS etc.) and turn off the service light, as opposed to
being able to do it by pushing a button under the hood.
