Test driving an 82 Fleetwood.. what to look for?
Hello. I am currently looking to purchase a 82 Fleetwood with 53k original miles.. for 3500.
It seems like a good price so I've arranged to test drive it tomorrow. The owner seems very honest and we spoke for nearly an hour.
I happen to have NO mechanical skills although would love to learn some basics while maintaining a classic that I'm proud of.
So what should I look for, or listen for when I test drive it? Any advice would really help. Thanks!

Nice looking car, the 4.1 liter engine is not considered to be a very good engine, but for that price and if you enjoy it for fun driving, go for it,
check out "carsurvey.org" the 4.1 was around from 1982 to 1986.
