Hi All,
I have a 1977 240D that has a rebuilt engine and trans. This was done before I owned the car.
The rebuild had about 70k on it.
One day driving real slow (5mph) the engine just quit, I tried to start-which it did with a loud slapping sound. I stopped the car and had it
towed. The machanic I brought the car to said that it wasn't worth rebuilding, though he did not open the engine up. He said he could here things moving around inside.
So my question, do you think its worth spending the money to research the problem futher, should I cut my losses and out altogether?
The car is in awsome condition, new tires, breaks, dash, apolstry, etc ....
Is there a good place to purchase replacement engines for this car?
What's the best bang for the buck, rebuild, rebuilt, new?
And of course I need to ask, is there a good market out there if I need to "part out" the car?
Thanks for your time and thoughts,
Chris
