Final cost including parts on my daughters 83 240D
Well I just totaled the bill on my daughters 83 240D. All together we have $4700 in the car. The following is the list.
I checked the following and replaced or was happy with the current parts. Front suspension, replace brake support mounts and bushings, sway bar mounts. Drive shaft Rear suspension Vacuum system, new vacuum pump, all new elements, connectors Throttle linkage Power steering, rebuilt pump and hoses New belts Flushed radiator, new antifreeze All new fluids and filters, rebuilt oil cooler hoses Tranny, new IP vacuum control valvle and rear seal,speedo cable, fluid-filter Cleaned fuel tank, new lines and filters All new bulbs Cleaned and repainted instrument cluster Doors, new rear window regulators, window switches some trim pieces Pressure washed the whole car Detailed the car New radio, antenna Lifetime front end alignment from Firestone. $140, consider this guys. Bring it buy as many times as you want FOR LIFE. Checked the entire car for rust, found on pea size spot, POR15ed and treated 303ed all rubber As I said, I either rebuilt the items that needed it or was happy with the parts in the car. The suspension was rebuilt 2 years prior to us buying it so the only thing that I did was the brake support mounts, groaning, and sway bar mounts, never touched. Everything else was in great shape. Another example the drive shaft was rebuilt ( flex disks, center bearing and bushing) last summer so I just check it. Glad I did, found one bolt not tightened. The car is now ready for another 20 years of service. Left to be done is a new evaporator, , some windlace and door seals and the car will be 99% done Thought I'd let you know Dave
