With 279K on it somethings going to break from time to time. That said, I
purchased a 86 gold diesel about 10 years ago with 200k on it, ran another 50k and then sold the car. Not bad for $200 purchase.

If the motor has good compression, you won't have to worry about it.
Things that you'll need sooner or later unless they've been replaced recently will be Shocks Struts (assc Hardware), Ball Joints, Tie-Rods, CV Axles and Joints rebuilt, Front and rear wheel bearings. But if you replace all that stuff the car will feel like New Again. |
