have an self keeping qualified mechanic look on the motorcar. if there at the instantaneous are not too many subject matters (you ought to opt to anticipate some subject concerns) that are going to value you extremely some funds to fix then purchase the motorcar. With 260,000 miles something can harm at any time. this heavily isn't a valuable motorcar in any appreciate. a lot lower priced yet not solid. My suggestion is many times why purchase a miles a lot lower priced motorcar that you already know demands instantaneous upkeep to get it roadworthy. Why not spend that money identifying to purchase a motorcar that would not decide on the artwork maximum ideas-blowing up the front. If it expenditures you $500 for the motorcar and also you opt on yet another $600 to fix the customary subject concerns purely to pressure it, then why not really purchase a $1200 motorcar that would not decide on the artwork.

How fast are you?
I agree somewhat with GRUMPPY
A little coke in and out rebuilt ready to rock, I would take a 4 hour bet.
