Lightbulb anybody want a 240d pretty cheap?

ok here it is i got 2 240ds and my landlord is kinda a dick about one because it's wrecked it can be repaired but i can't do it here sadly so i must get rid of the thing it's an '82 with dammage to the frame ahead of the front driver side wheel. The drivers door, both front quarter panels and the hood would have to be replaced and you'd need some wheels or a flat deck truck because i took the mags off of it and haven't got anything to replace them. the engine and 4-speed tranny are in excellent shape i actually drove it home without trouble (don't tell anyone) umm yeah it's not a bad car if you want to do some work, the frame has had some straightening but is not completely done yet i'm not sure if i want to sell it yet but if you're interested please reply and we'll discuss it umm i suppose it might help if you live near Kamloops, BC Canada as well. thanks all and have a good day/night whatever the case may be

Dang why can't these things be closer to me? I've got a body that's trashed in the rear but all the front things yours needs are perfect.

Hi Dude, I may be interested, but it will be a lot harder to get it home to southern Alberta with no wheels! If you do want to sell it and I took a bus over there with four wheels for luggage, how well would it drive through the mountains home? Does it start, steer, brake ok? And of course what do you need for it?

hmm

well the trouble is that while i drove it home and everything i didn't go above about 20 km/h so i can't say how it would do at highway speeds or how well it would stay together it has one working headlight and the hood is pushed up a bit so i doubt it could make without some kind of escort to keep an eye on it umm i have to move it soon so i'll see if i can get some pics taken so you can check it out yourself and see what you think i should have some by friday if all goes well.
Have a good Day/Afternoon/Night whatever the case may be

Just a suggestion but u-haul rents car trailers for a very reasonable price wouldn't it make more sence just to drag it back to alberta assuming you have a hitch and all.Besides it would cost alot less for fuel that way.
