Should I buy this 83 245?

We have 2 83's, including a 245 with over 260K miles. Agree with the other 'boarders, watch out for the rust (esp driver's side rear floor). Wiring harness was also bad (head temp sensor and at firewall). That said, it has been a trooper--have driven it all over the country since we bought it in 86. The four-light front has definite advantages when it comes to lighting (in our case, 2 Marchal H4 Hi/Lo and 2 Marchal H2 Hi--unbelieveable improvement!)

Hope this helps,
