i am thinking about buying a 96 WS-6 with 86K miles, i was wondering if there were any concerns, the water pump, tires and brakes have been replaced.

 

That's right about where mine is, I'm at like 84K though...

Items that I've had to replace due to breakage or wearout:

Clutch
Opti
DS Window Motor (PS is getting slow and wearing out, needs replacement this year)
Tires
Brakes
Parking Brake Cable (Sticking, replaced when did the brake job)
Headlight Gear


The Most common wearout thing is the Opti, if it gets wet, you can be cooked...

And if you can't take the VC off, just look under the oil cap, and in the valvecover through there, and examine the oil on the Dipstick...

 

ok, new to high performance cars here, and gm's for that fact, what is a opti?

 

Opti is the ignition system on the car...if the water pump has been replaced I'd find out why, if it was leaking it could have leaked into/onto the opti. If thatst he case you may be buying a new ignition sometime soon. Is it a six speed or an auto car? If its an auto make sure you smell the tranny fluid and check the color. If it smells burnt or is real dark, almost black or the viscocity appears to be lost then you'll probably need to put in a new tranny pretty soon.

 

it is a auto, thanks for the tip
