740 turbo with 216,000 miles that will not run.....

Several possibilities.....

1) Bad AMM
2) Bad fuel pressure regulator
3) Bad FI temp sensor (or connections to it)
4) Bad FI ecu (unlikely)

'87 was, I think, the first year for the water cooled turbo... so the turbo may still be in good shape. '87 was also the first year for the hydraulic motor mounts.... so they might be shot.

Ask for all service records.

$500 for the car is fair. Offer $350.

When she's not looking, unplug the AMM (key off) and see if it starts.

If you buy the car, keep in mind that the oil is probably LOADED with gas -- so change it before you run the engine.
