Yeah, your 240D and my 300D sound like they have the same body issues.

Will let you know as soon as I hear from the guy about cost. Just from a parking lot eye-balling he said "in the thousands." I figured there was no harm in leaving it and having a proper estimate done. (It'll be the only thing about this car that hasn't cost me any money yet!)

Good thing I hung onto my junker of a Jetta. She's looking better to me by the minute.
