Hi. 1992 240 GL sitting undriven in New England yard two years. 217,000 odometer. Clean carfax. Story is it was owned by school teacher and meticulously maintained/garaged until 2005. Family bought it for teenagers. Trunk bashed in while backing up and was replaced. Not registered and haven't been able to drive it, although we were taken for a drive in it last summer and it purred along. Would like some knowledgeable thoughts about the sitting outside two years part? Sorry if this info was already given, but we are revisting the purchase. I was told by mechanic (who did not see it) it would need 4 new brake disks, all pads, that brake system has been sitting there rusting, possibly calipers, that the water collects causing deep metal rust. Also four new tires. Hoses may be bad. Would need fuled injection, etc., etc. I think you also have to be concerned about bad gas and problems with carbureator/engine? Owner said he filled the tank, so I wan't able to do the "smell" test for bad gas. We're supposed to see it again today, and squeeze is on to buy as sellers moving to Cape. Thanks.
