long time lurker here. i have the oppurtunity to get a pretty decent 86 560sel for 1500 bucks. no visible rust, 170k Miles, and a couple small dings from hurricane damage. (i'm in charlotte county Florida) the interior is very nice not excelent. the problem is that i can't really test drive it. it was driven to where it is now but it has been sitting a few months. it will start but then the fuel pumps start howling and it quits, might restart for a moment or might not. it will always start a few hours later or the next morning. i know i'll need fuel pump, a filter, and maybe a relay just to be safe. it'll be the dailey driver for my wife. i know it's a lot of miles but she's currenly driving an 89 mercury colony park with 151K so it's gotta be a step up. definately looks better. anything i should look at in particular or watch out for? is that WAYYYYY too many miles or just a lot? thanks in advance for any quick replies, i might have to make a decision tomorow. doug
