what did they put it down on?
to be fair, you would be hard pressed to get a good report on something with 260k 25 years old. they listed it as having some rust, which is not unusual, but gets frowned upon bad in checks.
But if its something like compression etc thats fair enough



agreed

no wonder with 260k on the clock

you can't really expect much with those sort of km's, sounds like it needs a good freshen up

oil leaks and perished bushes are to be expected on a car of that age, however low compression (how low?) is bad news.
