Engine and tranny in fine shape(aside from Valve cover gasket). Needs front pads and rotors badly. Interior is decent shape. Deal killer was the hard hit to the right rear that tore off bumper cover and generally left the rear looking pretty badly. I do mechanics, not body work. But for someone just looking for a daily driver....its a steal at $600. I told her not to budge on the price. There's a new $200 radio head unit and all. TTYL.

I just bought another '84 244 last week with a loud blower that only worked on setting 3. It only lasted 5 minutes after I paid the guy and drove off. Turns out the bushing was gone and the fan was rubbing on the housing and had burned itself out. Did the blower motor swap over the last two days. I used the VDO blower motor that comes with the IPD kit. Didn't know it was made in China until it arrived. It is indeed a little louder than I had hoped but at least I have a functioning heater now.

The replacement motor in the IPD kit is noisy right from the start...

I have a 1987 245 that I bought 12 years ago. The blower was noisy when I bought it. Most notable at high speed. Changes pitch when making a turn, leading me to believe it is a little loose on the shaft. I have put 200,000 miles on the car since I bought it and it is still running. And I run the fan quite a bit. Hope that helps.

mine is on the 8th year of being noisy. loudest during the cold first few miles of a near zero day. then it quiets down.
thats this blower motor, yours may be just seconds from "eternal quiet".
an 80 245 i had, the motor just quit. no card or anything, just gone.
seen pictures of those who have repaired them. open heart looked neater. and easier. :)

The blower in my 90 never gave me any problems. Thankfully!

My experience with other makes is that a blower can either go south or last a long time if it's noisey.

BTW - In the picture that car looks pretty nice for $600. How is it in person? Ad says it is 1992 which a really good year. Here in Massachusetts you could get for $400+ for the car as scrap so it doesn't seem like it has too much of a downside to me...
