A 1989 240 does not necessarily have a bad ECU (as far as I know). I have not had any problems with mine, though I suppose my parents could have replaced the ECU sometime in the 1990s before I became "aware" of the car. From reading on here, I gather that the switch to "good" ECUs was made sometime during the 1989 model year.

Supposedly the 1988 240 is the penultimate 240. The advantage the 1989 models have over 1988 is the addition of rear headrests (a comfort for rear passengers and a safety feature in the event of a rear-end collision). The disadvantage was the switch to "LH-Jetronic version 2.4," which removed adjustable timing. I personally prefer the '89 model year and think the headrests make it a better year than the '88, but it's not that huge of a difference.
