going to buy a 740 turbo se tonight, questions

Post by msunkenberg »

hi,

my 81 240 has i think too much wrong wiht it to fix it at this point.

i'm going to look at a 1991 740 SE turbo 5 speed tonight. its through a dealer and has 122k on it.

i've bought a few used cars, and generally check the oil, coolant and things like that, is there anything relating to the turbo or the 740 that i should pay particular attention to?

the proximity of the vehicle doesn't really allow me to bring it to my mechanic but i shoudl eb able to get it on a lift to check it for rot. it seems that generally speaking the 740's don't rust as badly as the 240's?

thanks for any info.
