If a 240 owner is told they need to spend $800 for a timing belt, front seals, and new brake pads and rotors, chances are they will sell it cheap to one of us instead. Case in point. I bought an 89 244 recently that needed the above work and the girl who owned it was quoted $800 to do the work. I picked it up for $700. It has Bilstein HD's front and rear with 40k on them, lowering springs, IPD sway bars, chassis braces, IPD 2 1/4 inch exhaust, poly rear bushings, 16" alloys with almost new Conti tires, 5 VDO guages, tinted windows, perfect black interior, an M47, and a kick *ss Alpine 6 speaker stereo with amp. I've got about $1000 into the car and it's worth twice that easy. I own 4 240's now and I doubt I will ever sell any of them. Saw another one on craigslist yesterday that I tried to buy but I was too late. A black on black 89 with a blown motor that the guy sold for $200. He told me he couldn't come up with the $2500 for a new motor. Mark this post as an answer to my question<- Use this feature to mark quality replies to your post.
