Just turned 200,000 miles on my 1983 240D 4spd!
(no applause please)
I wish I could say that I started when it had 0 miles and experienced the full life of this fine vehicle, but I have to admit that I have only owned it for the last 325+/- miles.
(that's why no applause is required...)
This car is incredible! I have been reading some posts about "top speeds" in a 240 and I am a little confused.
I drive the 240D to work every morning, and the picture above is a typical representation of my speed for part of the highway journey. At 85, I still feel as if I have plenty of space left between the pedal and the floor, and at 85ish it definately does NOT feel as though I am topped out! Maybe they are talking about automatic trannys?
Anyhoo, I plan on keeping this car for many years to come and at LEAST another 200K. This is the car that my daughter will be learning how to drive on when she is old enough...in 2016.
