After 10 years and 406,000 KMs my 88 240 wagon is done. After many repairs I think its time to put it to rest. I just replaced the timing belt and all front seals and have spent an average of 600 a month for the last 3 months on repairs. Plus the rotted body, the parking brake doesn't work, driveline is noisy. I have put a lot of money and time in this car and I cannot keep up. I might sell it for parts as it has all new calipers and brakes. It has bilstien HD shocks and struts with less than 2 years worth of wear. I had also rebuilt the steering rack and replaced all front suspension including control arms. I have learned a lot here on the brickboard and appreciate all the help over the years.







Its not all bad I still have my 90 740 GL 16v.
Oh I forgot to mention I'm replacing the 240 with a 94 850.
