It's funny you should start this thread. I just purchased a '89 240DL last night. Paid $1250 for it, 189,000 miles on it. It has a new muffler, new brakes, no rust at all. It needs some minor stuff like the center console is missing, the bolster needs new carpet otherwise it's a great looking car. AC works though it has been changed over to 134A.
We bought it for my GF's daughter, she's 16 and we figured it will be a great first car for her.
We washed it and waxed it last night, it came out looking really good. I took some pics and I'll post them maybe this weekend.
