240 wagon 89 a testimonial to their brake safety system 200

posted by  someone claiming to be kris carlson on  Thu Sep 27 21:19 CST 2012 [RELATED]

I bought an 89 240 sedan. The owner told me it had a broken caliper. I looked at the left rear wheel and could see the pad had worn down to the metal. I thought it at least still has some braking power as the front rotors looked clean. I drove it 7 miles home down some steep hills. At home I took off the tire and could see for sure the rotor was shot. I decided to check the other side....there was no caliper at all...! the brake line was broken off and just hanging there and yet the other 3 brakes still worked. Kris
