What bothered me most about that car was that one video I saw of it showed it in deteriorating condition and that it was basically being driven into the ground.

Yes, but, it was mechanically well maintained. Honestly there is no point continuing to care for the exterior of a car with that many miles, as its pretty much worthless at that point. Nobody on the second hand market is going to buy that car for any reason except to restore it and put it on display in a museum. I wouldn't ever trust a used car with over 300,000 miles to take me more than walking distance from my house unless I owned it before it hit, say, 100,000 miles.

If you watch Tavarish’s video he’s going to restore it
