Those 240D's !
They're terrific cars *if* you can restrain your self from buzzing them to death .
All those manual tranny ones in So. Cal. got ruined by college kids who never changed the oil and floated the valves on each and every up shift....
Our clean 1982 240D slushbox is the long distance tourer we use to haul 3 Foster boys out of state , on holidays etc. it always gets 32 ~ 36 MPG's on the open road ,fully loaded and the AC on . I never exceed 65 MPH , period .
Congrats on your new car ! .
