I just bought an '82 264 GLE and have a few questions.

The car's previous owner stopped driving it about five years ago because she and her husband both were given company cars and she also had a sports car that she liked driving more. She said the last time she drove it, it ran fine.

The car only has 74,000 miles on it! The interior is in excellent condition. Not cracks in the dash or the seats. It really looks almost new. I've never seen an older Volvo that was in nearly this nice a condition on the inside.

Now the bad:

The body does have a little rust under the driver's side door that I'll have to fix.

It needs tires, but the Corona wheels do have all of the center caps still attached.

The biggest detractor from what I've read is that it has the PRV engine. Again, the lady who I bought it from said it ran well when she last drove it, but I know these engines aren't the most long-lived of the Volvo engines. I figured that if the engine is history, I can always put a red block engine in it.

So now to the questions:

1. I'm planning on draining the gas tank of any old fuel and purging the fuel injection lines of the old fuel.

2. After I get it started and verify that the engine still will get the car down the road, I'm going to change the oil, transmission flid, and antifreeze. I've read that synthetic engine oil helps these engines' longevity. Should I put some sort of oil system cleaner in the engine since it has not been run for so long?

3. Finally, the leather seats while in very good condition are somewhat harder than I would think they should be. What is the best leather reconditioner to use?

Anything else I should be aware of?
