I've got a chance to buy a 90 740 sedan, rex/regina system, bare-bones basic except power windows. 250k km, original paint & absolutely rust-free, one small crack in dash, very clean interior. The catch? A broken rod. However the car can be mine with a good used motor with new seals, gaskets & t-belt installed, for $2500cdn. What should I watch for with the rex/regina system? I know O2 sensor is pricey but it's recently been replaced. The fellow offering it to me did warn me about the imminent expense of the sender unit/tank pump. No leaks yet but he advised it probably will within the next year or two. I've got nothing against the regina system, I've just always had k-jet, LH or Digifant (VW's version of LH) but never regina, so I'm not sure what to expect. How does it compare for performance & economy to LH 2.4?
Thanks!
