First, let me say I've been away from this board since 2008 when I sold my 240, but I enjoyed the board so much back then and I can't remember a single problem that members weren't able to quickly help me solve.
I need a cheap car for my kids and am looking at a few 240 Wagons similar to the one I owned a loved many years ago. I figured my kids and I could take up amateur car mechanics again.
All the 240s in my area have major problems, but I wanted to get a feel for which might be the biggest headache.
A 1990 Manual with bad blower motor. (I replaced the blower motor in my 1988, it took me two days, I've never wanted to do it again).
A 1993 Automatic with a failed power steering pump.
Price and rust are similar on both. I always wanted a manual, just not sure I want one that bad.
Any advice, how does changing a power steering pump compare to the blower motor?
