All,
I have first right of refusal on a 90k mile 80 series. The current owner has had it for 4 years and said he's put about 100 miles on it since then. It's been garage kept so the paint, frame, and leather are in better condition than just about any other one I've seen . Given that it's been dormant for so long, would you pass on buying it? I know rubber items are a general concern, but is there anything specific I should look for or be concerned about with the 1FZ?
Provided the vehicle starts and idles fine, should I just budget for a full fluid flush, new tires, hoses, and seals? I plan on getting a PPI done later this week - is there anything particular I should ask them to look at? The battery has been removed while it sits, so I'm going to have to request the owner put 50ish miles on it before taking it in just to give the computer enough time to throw any codes.
Thanks!
