I pretty much leave the ECT on all the time, towing or not. If the O/D is off, this just limits the transmition from going into the top gear. The only time I turn off the O/D is when I'm decsending. I drag a boat and trailer around totalling about 4300lbs. Slow up the hills but otherwise...

I can't imagine that boat only weighing 3500 lbs. A 26ft fiberglass hull w/ outboard is usuallay in the 5000 - 6000 lbs range. My 21ft Sea Ray is 3500lbs (not including trailer). I run surge disk brakes on both axels and it stops better towing the boat than without. Good trailer brakes are...

FZJ80, 92K, 62mph...(Drum Roll)...18.4mpg. That's with the CC set for about 150 miles so this is most likely the top end of things. Oh yeah, that's burning the cheap stuff.

Here she is.

This is the real questin here and the answer is obviously, yes. This is worth it me so I did it. I'm not buying this for an investment so what does it really matter if I paid 1K higher than KBB. KBB actually values this vehicle higher than what I paid. So we could round and round on this but...

Well as they say, love is bliss...and I'm in love. Aside from perfect interior and near perfect exterior, this is as good visually as they come. Brakes, rotors, belts, hoses, tires, batery, filters, etc. all new within the past 1500 miles. Records go back for 9 years on it. As far as I could...

I'm looking at a '94 this weekend w/ 91k on the odometer. I've seen picks and it's one of the best one's I've seen in a while. I'm pretty familiar with the 60's but this will be my first (if I purchase it) 80. Seller is asking $12,500. Thoughts on price? Things to look for?
