The wiring was supposed to have been improved starting with the 1988 model year in both 240's and 740's. Turbos were more likely to develop problems because of the extra heat under the hood. I drove a 1985 NA 240 for 14 years and I currently own a 1987 740T both suffered from the rotting wiring harness syndrome. Your '89 should be ok, but leaking oil could still cause wiring insulation to go bad...

Good Luck,
JJ
