Look at the dipstick. Use MrMerlin's procedure, black cloth, good light, and examine closely for shiny metal particles. I really don't like the "lugging" comment, and since it an AT you really need to rule out TBF. That said, for 1K? Wow, could be a really great deal!

You probably can but since the engine did run long enough, many of the parts can not be tested. This goes for the transmission too. It takes a loooong time to part out a 928. But sine you only have 1K in it, you will be in the back in no time. Do you have a garage to keep the car untill it's totally taken apart? I had to keep mine inside or else the neighbours would have killed me.
