850 glt 850 1996


I looked at an 850 GLT, 1996. It has 85k miles and all the maintenance papers, work performed at the dealer. Timing belt was done at 70,083, so that is good.

The motor is pushing out smoke from the dipstick, there is an oil leak from somewhere on the left side of the engine, I see the oil on the frame parts, but not a big spot on the concrete. The car has been sitting a while, probably only cranked up a few times a year for the last couple of years. You have to push the shift bypass button to get it in drive.

It runs well and seems to shift smoothly. Needs all new tires, and of course I would replace all the fluids.

I think I can get the car for $2000. Your comments are appreciated!
