Ok, long story short I just got this 95, from a private owner with 91 k, clearly she didn't drive it much but she didn't up keep it too much but whatever, (it has been sitting most of its life) i got it for half of the blue book value. I took it to my *really good* mechanic and he did a full run down on it full mait, fluids all that good stuff.
he did a compression test and said its pretty good 132lbs, he did say the spark plugs did show some ash and he wants me to bring it back in 3,000 miles to check them again he said that he thinks *one of the cylinders might be having issues or it could be "sticky valves", its consuming oil at an abnormal rate and gas mileage is not what it should be, this may be due to the cylinder not performing,( i'm only generally mechanically inclined, no expert). Anyhow, the car runs and drives excellent , no issues there just looking for any feeback or advice anyone might have regarding the mechanical status.
2nd point, a man I work with is in auto school and said that in jan i can submit my car to his class to work on for free ( i just have to buy parts) and he said they will do a complete valve job, etc to get the car up to par.
Just wondering if anyone thinks I will need a valve job right away ?
