I've got an '84 760 Turbo that has been in my family since new. It's been a great car overall. The engine wiring harness is prone to failure on the early cars ( just like on the early 240's and 740's).I'm getting ready to replace mine. The rear shocks on mine went bad at about 100K and the car started sagging. I went with IPD's rear shock update kit ( use stiffer rear springs and Boge turbo gas shocks). Depending on the price of the car you found, it sounds like a good car. Personally I think the 700's drive a little smoother than the 240's. I've owned several of both series.

Good luck,

Dave
