Filled up the car for the 2nd time. 650km on 57L. Can't complain about that. I have to pinch myself every time I drive this crazy car. It's the best $250 car I've ever bought...and I've never paid $250 for a car before...
Sounds like my 92 245GL. I bought it for $200 with a bad ECU. The previous mechanic replaced every sensor known to man to try to diagnose it. New bosch AMM, new crank position sensor, new power stage, recent volvo O2 sensor. I put an ECU in it after the PO rained about 3K into the car a month before on various things. The expression on the poor guy's face as I took the title and fired it up and drove it off was priceless.
It got 33usmpg at 80mph, ran prefect, not a spec of rust on it (sonoma/napa car), 335K miles (now has 400K on it) with blue paint. That was a "pinch yourself" kind of car that I should have never sold. Needing money and space does that though. The miles scared me at first, but the receipts were good and it commuted from wine country (sonoma/napa) to SF. I bought it in 2005 with 335k, which would be over 110 miles a day if one drove every day from 1992-2005.
960s are good cars if kept up too.
