Good evening from London.
I am thinking of buying a 1988 760 V6 but have heard about how the earlier models are unreliable and problematic. Can you tell me if this one has the later (less problematic) engine or is this a problematic one? Its an early 1988 model with a 2,849 cc engine. (Not sure if they were all the same cc?) Its done 114K miles and is automatic.
Apart from that, can anyone give me any tips on what to look for other than what is in the FAQ/Buying tips on this site.

On another note, I am considering whether to buy a 740/760/940/960/v90 or perhaps go for the 200/240 series which preceded the 740/940. Can anyone tell me how the truck/boot size compares between the two ranges? Also, from a safety point of view, am I right in thinking the later range will be much safer for passengers from the strength of the bodywork perspective?

Thanks in advance.
