These old 2.6/2.8 blocks are kinda not rigid enough and start leaking oil in all weird places with age. The problem being that replacing seals would only solve the problem for a short while. Then you'll be fixing it again.
Sensors die. Also, it is not that powerful but does drink its Premium all right.
And that's before you poke at all the auxilliaries and comfort features...
There are much better ways to burn 2K.
Also, if you just need a beater on the cheap, I'd look in a totally different direction than EU-made cars.
