a 96 with less the 150k on it for 2000 grand with a good body is a good deal i think. just look for things leaking, check fluids, test drive it make sure every thing works.

do they have common valve cover gasket leaks, it looked like it was leakin. it had 45 to 50 psi oil pressure runing and idling... i saw lil oil leak underneath maybe coming from valve cover gasket....
