There are lots of discussions recently about IL6 or V6 reliability ect & I myself have asked the same questions as I intend buying one soon. Your car with 285,000mls seems to be a good example. Although you mention it is running well, & it does not show signs of high mileage, do you know if it has it been a reliable car for the previous owner. Do you have the service history?. Has it had any of the swirl flap motor, main bearing, transmission, manifold problems we here about that effects so many cars.
I am just curious, as from what I can make out from reading about these V6s a lot, or maybe the majority are trouble free, & others cause no end of trouble.
Would be interesting to know the history of yours with the high mileage .
