High mileage 92 questions

[winnipeg69]

I have a line on a higher mileage 92 coupe. It has 214,000 km which is about 133,000 miles. Orginal owner and not winter driven. It needs seat covers and carpet but otherwise looks good. What other things should I be looking at on a car with this mileage and what type of value? It will not be my primary vehicle.

Aside from the basic fluid leak checks and such; I would also ask for information on the opti-spark distributor and the water pump. Ask him if they're the original units.

Check the tires too because due to the size of C4 tires, they can be expensive to replace.

Wheel hubs ought to be checked if they have not been replaced.

What's the asking price?

I think that comes to around $10K American?

Kelley Blue Book puts it around the $8K neighborhood; in good condition with a disc player.

Ask if the ball and u-joints have been replaced. If you can, start the thing up when its cold to see if the power steering rack is still okay.
