Is it worth it? 200 1982

I am wondering what people think of the 1982 turbo wagons. I'm working on a 122 and looking for a 240 to drive regularly. There's one 1982 turbo I found with almost no rust, in really good shape structurally and internally. The problem I see is it will pop out of 2nd unless you makes sure it's firmly in gear (at least that's what the seller says), and the pushbutton overdrive doesn't always work. Is this a bad sign? I'm wondering what it could possibly be wrong with the transmission.

Another thing, are there any problems with the turbos? I know some about the non turbo engines but never heard much about the engines with turbos.

    RE the trans popping out of gear. That's a bad synchro. They are easy to replace on the M45 (no OD), but the M46 is a bit of a headache because of the long main shaft that feeds the OD. You need a press and some patience. If you're going to do it, consider doing the clutch and rear main while you're in there.

    The OD could be a number of issues. Most likely it's the seals, but could be the button itself, the solenoid, the relay, or the wiring harness (among other things).

    82 Turbo is not factory intercooled from the factory. I have an 82 242T and it can be fun, but it's some work. K-Jet on a turbo is an affliction. Up to you on whether or not you feel like regularly working on a 28 yo DD.

      Thanks. It does have an intercooler, I forgot to mention that. Anyone know how much this car could be worth? I'm more knowledgeable about late 80's, not sure if that tranlsates. Does $2500 sound about right?
