Just got myself another redblock wagon, a nice 88 745 GLE with 160K miles, almost no rust, super sharp exterior. It's a two owner car (within the same family, 10 years in CA, 10 years in St. Louis). The interior is black leather and there are no cracks. With some leather conditioner and black dye, it will look just new. However the headliner ..., well you know how it looks like! The engine and transmission run very smooth. Everything in the car work, maintained well by the dealer and almost no use during the past 10 years. The best things is the owner is very happy to get rid of it for $550. I just replaced the oil with moble1 fully synthetic. Already bought 13 qts of Mobil1 fully synthetic ATF, will do the flush later on this week.

Just checked out the brakes before any major dring. Front rotors need replacing. I remember exactly which yard has like new rotors. I'll go get them soon. Question: are front the rear rotors exchangable (thery look the same) I'm not sure if the rotors in the yard are front or rear. Thanks in advance for your opinion.

Being a Brickboarder only for over a year, ONLY owning 4 bricks (93 245, 92 244, 91 745T, now 88 745 GLE), I never have the need for a front bushing job or a blower job. Reading all the horror tales about them so often here on the board does not realy relate to me at all. NOW, I'm pretty positive that I have myself a "bushing job". Both front bushings already fell off and laying on top of the spring holder thing above the brake rotor. Next week, I'm afraid that I have to empty my pocket to IPD or the other guy, nice "poly bushings" special tools!
