My 240 is getting tired with 236K miles. (more accurately, I'm getting tired of working on it every other weekend to keep it going) My neighbors even razz me!

I've given a lot of thought to a replacement car and am considering looking at a 1989 760 turbo wagon. It has 194K miles, front end shudder when braking, and the sunroof leaks. The seller has owned it about 6 months. He had the injectors cleaned and has done regular maintenance including changing oil with Mobil-1 twice. He said it now has an oil leak from somewhere. Asking price is $1595.

What things should I check if I go see it? He does not know when the timing belt was last changed. I feel confident to do this anyway.

Anything else for an 89 760 turbo I should be leary of?

Also I'm assuming this engine would not have the piston cooling of the later 940?

Thanks for any advice.

Mike
