Hi all- i added a new brick to the family- got my mom a 87 245 with 203k on the clock. nice, clean , now on its 3rd owner, many if not all records. no sunroof to leak. looks like new head/tail lites. (they arent yellow)

but, of course, nothings perfect.

the defrost doesn't. heat blows everywhere except up on the windsheild.

the speedo is bouncy-intermittent. I am pretty sure that this is an electronic unit? I know to check out the rear end wiring, and did read the FAQ on this for 7/900's. I will post more on this once I get to look at it.


the glove box trim panel fell off. gorilla glue?

and- i am wondering. It has heated seats. I read that this may mean a locking diff. Is this true? how can I verify.

I really haven't had a chance to look over much on the car yet, as my mom is driving it, but plan on doing a oil change and plugs, filters, etc, soon.

thanks for the tips, mo
