Badge considerations aside, let's face it, the 850's are NOT maintenance nightmares, despite the bad press. If you choose a well maintained used 8, and are diligent with your care of it, there are relatively few major problems that crop up. As the mileage increases, certain items will need to be replaced (check the archives) but on the whole, you can expect a long healthy life from a nice 850.

As far as this "CSi"... keep looking, there are a lot of nice 8's for sale, just be patient.
