Hi All,

Is there a big difference between a '92-'94 and '94-'98 850 series ?

Aside from the obvious. Reliability issues, maintenance costs, etc. ?

cheers

There isn't a big difference. There are some small differences which
increase maintenance costs. For example, the '92 - '93 850s need to
have the timing belt replaced at a shorter interval. OTOH, you need
an OBDII code reader to diagnose faults in '96 and newer cars.

And the 4 bolt wheels used on the 92 and 93 model years make finding
wheels and brake rotors harder and more expensive.
