Beautiful car ! excellent deal!
He "adjusted the rheostat"................. You need to trade one of us with a more broken in model this way you can get some real wrenching done. signature soot stained hands as well.  Enjoy and Best of luck with it!

Found the window sticker $31,940 was the purchase price in June of 1985
My wife has a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu and it was only $22,451 Went to the local Import shop and got a Mann oil filter....the last auto parts store filter the O-ring didn't fit the cover He keep the maintance booklet up and everything is written and signed off to the last oil change @ 95,035 miles It has had a valve adjustment and 2 transmission fluid and filter services.

Remember to adjust for inflation for 1985 has been almost 100% so our benzs would actually cost $61,000 in 2011 money  http://www.usinflationcalculator.com/

If you need tires, you might consider switching to 16 inch wheels and tires.
Plus 205 55 R16 are 0.5% off of orginal at 60mph, thats less off then 205 70 R14's.

Brought new tires finally today....I ordered them and the balancer broke. I also had the A/C serviced. It blows nice and cold.
Still loving the car getting a hair over 26 mpg I don't if my other car were worn out but when the turbo spools on this car it goes hard. Thanks all for the kind words

- Motor Oil and filter, for sure - fuel filters, both primary and secondary - AT fluids and filter-- good idea. - check the hood hinges and lube - lube the door mechanisms - check the vacuum controls - check the little stops which hold the air cleaner in place - check the idle speed/ starting speed cable - check that the emergency stop works - put it up on a rack and check the suspension and steering - don't forget to check the rear axle boots Then you will have a wonderful ride. Consider also buying some pool noodles which you cut up to reinforce the front seats.
