Perfect. The one determining factor I would use for my purchase.......

I was referring to a gasser 940T wagon. I love mine and dare i say that it is a better car than the equivalent 124 MB gasser wagon

. Diesel is another matter. Those Volvo 240 diesels would have been great cars if their engines were built by someone other than VW.

The engines are fine, the ****ty oil and lack of regular PM lead to their demise. The water pump and oil pump should have been upgraded from the ones fitted to the 1.6, however.

So, Chad. If I sell Coda to you, then what happens to my avatar?

Parting with my dear, Coda, would be a historical event which would not occur quickly nor without considerable thought.

Considerable thought.
Good things come to those that wait.
Patience, grasshopper.
FIVE dollar signs without a decimal place? I would have to think hard about it, but I could be convinced with time to sell Coda for the lowest 5 whole digit number not beginning with a zero nor containing a decimal.
