Default wanted 850 estate

I'm starting my quest for an 850 estate to keep my 940 company. I've already got an auto, so a manual one would be nice but not a deal breaker. Distance no object, as I drove over 2hrs to collect my 940.
I'm not looking for an "mint" R type, just a big standard 2.5 or a t5 would be nice, not looking for a show queen, as my 940 ticks all them boxes. Looking for a well serviced example that isn't going to cost an arm and a leg straight away, to put to use on some long distance tours. Been looking on the relevant sites but nothing has drawn me in yet.

Based on your description and consedering how they have raised in value you are not looking for something cheap.
If you are looking for something cheap you’ll find plenty of auto not full history.
Good luck

Good 850's are still around £1500 or less. don't be fooled by these dealers showing over inflated prices, they just sit there on their books, or even don't exist!
