I have a 89 240DL wagon that I am in the process of parting out. I still have the HD springs, Bilstein shocks, and front suspension parts that were installed less than a year ago if you're interested. Send me a PM

The car itself was just OK. Nothing fancy, slow, got about 19 mpg around town. The engine itself will probably run for 300K. I had 170K and it used no oil between changes, I would call it "bulletproof", ran great, but not much power. Rust was the downfall of this car, and the price of gas. The OEM headlights really suck, so some people opt for the euro headlight package. The best thing about the car was the brakes. Throw you through the windshield, no ABS on the 89. It also had the tightest turning radius I have ever seen. I found that parts were reasonably priced. FCPGroton.com had most maintenence parts, good price.
