This vehicle is equipped with an automatic transmission and comes standard with StepTronic, which allows the driver to switch to manual drive. It has been outfitted with more than $4,700 in extras; including chrome exhaust tips, premium wheels, high performance tires, and a single in dash CD player. There are no dead or faded LCD pixels on the onboard computer. There are no dings or dents in the body. This well-kept California car has always been garaged, never smoked in and runs like new. This 850 is equipped with heated front seats, power seats, (16-way adjustments including lumbar support and 3 memory settings), dual-zone climate control, AM/FM stereo, CD player in console, a six CD changer in trunk, power mirrors, heated mirrors, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, power sun roof, and a theft deterrent system. For the purist, all original equipment is included; 6-disc truck mounted CD changer and five original alloy ‘throwing star’ wheels (including the spare) and tires. A custom car cover, factory floor mats, original owner’s manual, all service records, and a factory key are also included. The M73 5.4L 12 cylinder engine http://www.wuffer.ca/MyFiles/M73TechBrief.pdf is factory stock and (upgraded from the ’95 M70 5.0L) is one of the most powerful in the segment. It runs strong and smooth. The transmission shifts with no skips or slips. The engine compartment is clean and free from leaks. The engine does NOT leak any oil or fluids. There is less than 500 miles on four Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 Z-rated tires. Both batteries were recently replaced as well.
