It looks very rough, my guess is poor maintenance history. But that's a guess and still it will have those unmatched 98 R seats. As long as you are fully aware of the conundrum that is a making a 98 AWD whole again, it does seem worth looking at.lordchips wrote: 08 Apr 2020, 10:22 At 142k, what do you all think.

Got the head off today.bmdubya1198 wrote: 17 Mar 2020, 20:33 Well, I'm thinking it's probably a cracked cylinder wall. Probably not both.
Either way, I'm interested to see what you find out. With those compression numbers, there was a major failure!

Nice color combo, M66, and a decent price. Definitely worth a look for anybody looking for a P2R!erikv11 wrote: 12 Apr 2020, 13:16 117k manual S60R 06, if not for this pandemic I'd go test drive it.
