Tips for 900 mile drive from Illinois to New York?
I recently inherited my grandma’s garage-kept 1988 champagne 240 DL which has approximately 80,000 to 90,000 miles on it (the odometer broke before she passed away and she never had it repaired). As a kid I was promised this car and my grandpa has been taking it out of the garage once a week to keep it running. However he’s tired of seeing his late wife’s car in the garage and I'm going to pick it up.
I’m wondering if anyone has any tips on what I should check before taking the car on the road. Also, what should I have in the car, such as extra coolant, oil, and other essentials? Lastly, if there’s anything I can do to ensure the car makes it on this 900-mile journey please let me know.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated! If you’ve ever driven from Chicago to New York please share any recommendations you may have.
Thanks!
