A local has an 89 raider for sale for $750.
The good: The body and undercarriage - TX car so just about rust - free.
The bad: The 3.0 bane (it's a 3.0 auto, no lsd) of valves sticking has struck! Intake on one cyl seems sticky (making an occasional snap/clack - definately up in the valve train) - result is some gas in oil and probably shot rings in that cylinder. Not that this is what's wrong but... it's what I think is wrong.
The interior isn't the greatest but it's all there (no bouncy seat)
The transmission fluid's a bit dark but not real bad. Certainly not brown - not burnt-just used (prob time to change).
130 on the ticker. Never been hit. Otherwise seems in good shape.
OPINIONS!?? Help!
Change your oil hot and often.
