I'm in a dilema. I really want another 240 wagon and I've been hoarding parts for a few years now waiting for anything to come along. My 87 240 sedan is just fine, but I will be committed to replacing the doors and doing some body work on the quarters this spring. This means shelling out for a paint job that I don't want to do. I really need another wagon. I've been holding out for a decent 240 wagon that's got a good floor for some time. I'd even settle for one that's dented up. I just cant seem to find any wagons in Ohio any more. My 84 240's floor, rockers, trunk and quarters are toast. I see tons of them on Ebay down south, out west and on the east coast; but nothing in N.W. Ohio or S.E. Michigan. I spoke to a neighbor who's daughter has an identical 87 wagon and it's NOT for sale. Anyone outh there see anything cheap, or want to trade? Ben in Toledo

Dude, ever heard of a road trip? Seriously, I used to live in NW Ohio (Toledo for part of the time) and now live in Chattanooga Tennessee. You should really consider buying one on eBay or Auto Trader or something and drive down here and pick one up and drive it back. I bought my '89 244 for $400 and it is solid as a rock, NO RUST. Yes I had to fix a lot of things but the exhaust system could literally be unbolted from under the car and disassembled, it had only rusted from the inside out from old age and was original. Just did the trailing arm bushings, a cinch, no rust issues to deal with. If you have never owned an older car from the south, you are in for a seriously great treat.1 day drive down, 1 day back, not a big deal. Don't just dream about it, do it. Lots of them down here for those that appreciate them. You would be aghast at the solid cars being parted out down here, as if they couldn't be fixed because a tranny gave out, or a head gasket is leaking. Come down here and save them! Only problem is you won't want to drive a good solid car in the winter up north and you'll still need your old rust bucket to drive in the salt. Minor problem really!

I've been thinking about doing that. I saw one in Charlestown S.C. a few months back that would have been perfect for me sell for $388 on Ebay. The furthest I have driven to pick up a truck with a friend was at the Penn/Ohio line. I guess a weekend road trip is my only option. Gone are the days of trading one in at a used car lot for another one. At least up here it is. I've rusted out all 3 of my 240s I've owned by driving them in the winter because I have too. Ben
