Since some of the major stuff (read: turbo) has been taken care of, off the bat, it's not 100% bad. But bad leather and headliner are not the cheapest of things to repair at a shop, so take that into consideration ...

BTW, how does the seller drive? That's a clue on how much they care or not about the car. Doing delayed shutdowns on any turbo-equipped car is a good indicator that they do care.

Although a car may not have a maintenance history, generally speaking, to have made it up to 189k, it would have to had been reasonably maintained. Timing may not always have been perfect, but that it did get done.

FWIW, I bought my 745 with 175k on the clock. It's past 197k now ... it's still the original turbo. And the original clutch.

-- Kane ... the previous owner was actually pretty gentle with it.
