Never!

The engine and tranny are pretty much bulletproof on all the 850's. Electrical and ancillary systems are where you'll be spending your maintenance allowance. We have folks on the board with well over 100K miles without any problems. Go through the archives a bit to see what items you should be worrying about, but rest assured that if you buy a well maintained 850, you won't worry about engine or tranny problems.
