[V8] Fwd: Newbie that's just buying a V8

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Congrats.  Unfortunately, this e-mail list does not allow attachments for
the group.  If you have a website, you can post the links, though.

Hydraulic leaks are difficult to diagnose without knowing specifically where
the leak is coming from.  In any case, the general consensus is that (if you
can remove the hose yourself) you can have the hose rebuilt better and
cheaper than simple replacement.

> I just bought a 1990V8 on eBay. I am a little nervous about maintenence
after going through all the threads in the group. The listing says that
there is a slight leak in the power steering system - could that be a sign
of a much bigger problem?  how expensive would it be to fix it? I hope it's
just a hose that needs to be changed. I am planning on driving the car from
Boston to Baltimore in a couple of weeks. The car seems to be in fantastic
shape (in pictures) and I have attached a few for you guys. Any ideas
suggestions good mechanics in the Baltimore/DC area? Any information would
be helpful. I was told that the car runs fine and it only has 87528 miles on
it although the true mileage may be 90,000 but no more than that. Is this
too good to be true? I am excited to get it but a tad intimidated also.
Looking forward to hearing from you folks. Thanks.
