sorry to pipe in here, but 2k seems way too high to me for one of those.
IT should have already had new tires for that kind of money unless its
just showroom nice

$2000.
the 560 will run fine on 87, but yes, I think the 6's need something higher.

My rule of thumb on the octane issue is thus:
If you have KE-Jetronic and no knock sensor, do NOT use anything but
premium on the highway. Midgrade is OK around tow
My rule of thumb on the octane issue is thus:
If you have KE-Jetronic and no knock sensor, do NOT use anything but
premium on the highway. Midgrade is OK around town, but you really
need the knock protection on the interstate as the engine cannot retard
the ignition timing if it knocks. Burn
is no need to get the timing light out.

$2000. The dealership selling it wanted $3995 (which I admit is
insane). I bought it for $2K. I also put brand new tires on it (less
than 3K miles on them now) replaced front brakes (pads AND new
