Re: Pre-Purchase inspection in OC, CA
I'd be curious to see the engine run hour meter on a car like this. I'd bet it has high engine run hours for only 383 miles. Could be a simple fix(night need an Italian tune-up), or a not so simple fix.
Idling, esp. without a good drive hurts engines, O2 sensors, cats.
These cars were meant to be driven, not started then half warmed up, then shut down and not driven.
Draining fuel, preserving the fuel system and fogging the engine goes a long way for the long term, "park in the garage and admire" type cars. But many of these types of cars have owners that like to at least start them up and rev them when the friends come over. Hard to blame them.
I wonder what the mood would be if this was a 448 production per year and 405hp 93, 94 or esp. a 95 car?
EDIT It has 383 miles, not 358 miles that I originally wrote.
