I was the first person to speak to Matt and I agreed to pay his asking price of 2k. We agreed that I would send him the money as soon as he got a clear title. I was putting together a tool kit and spare parts to ship and making flight arrangements but he backed out of the deal when several others started offering him more. My complaint is only with the seller.

Do what you say and say what you mean.

Was that the one in Austin? I was flirting with the idea and he did the same thing -- $2k, then "best offer over $2k." Oh well.

Im looking for a 240D, so if anybody sees a decent one, drop me a note! Not too many around Kansas that I can find, so if I find one, I have decided most places around the country, I can have it shipped by DAS for around $550.

This hasn't been a good month for you from that standpoint. That is too bad, cause you sure completed our deal as well as could be expected. Fixing to send a PM your way......
I'm assuming this was the 240TD in Austin.....

yup, it's the one in Tx. Thanks for your heads up on this guy backing out. I'll call my indy tomorrow and let him know to watch out for this guy. I don't know if it has been paid in full yet.

in my '87 300TD. I was getting on the freeway and he was in the high speed lane. I thought I was seeing things when I saw the 240TD badge.

Slow 240s

I'm doing a weekly run from Venice, FLA to Brunswick, GA at the moment --- feel free to keep an eye on I-75, 301, or I-95 as I steam by -- I run the Interstates at a steady 78-79 ...... in my 240D .... of course, the 5 speed helps keep the revs down -- you can even hear the radio if you turn it up enough. 240s are only slow off the line.
