Re: I just inherited a 240 DL Wagon - got some Q's: 200

These cars are very predictable as far as wear and tear goes.

I just got an 88 240 wagon and all of the typical issues were present in my car. Our 240's were made for like 20 years so there is a lot of data out there. One very easy way to check out your car is to get a catalog from IPD [IPDUSA.com] and use it for a reference. If they carry a part for your car,it is a good indication that it commonly breaks or wears out. If not they wouldn't offer the part. A good thing to do is start with the 60,000mi tune up kit they offer. It is an extremely good deal and without a well tuned engine it's difficult to troubleshoot any other problems that the car may have.
