Its about time to find a replacement for the lady's '79 242 DL.

I will be looking at an '82 Turbo this evening. I am not sure if its a 242 or 244. What sort of mechanical issues should I be looking for with a turbo? I've bought more than a few older cars in my young life so I am not totally inexperienced but I dont know much about the turbo's in bricks. Is there some sort of road test that I should do to really test it out? If it needs some work I'll need to get it worked out sufficiently before our Montana winter starts.

Also what kind of gas mileage would this car get if it ran good. The owner says it runs great. I just hope its better than the 14mpg I'm getting now in the '79.

The price is $1999/obo. I am thinking not much more than a grand would be appropriate. I'll leave judgment until I see it.

Thanks all!
