Selling Price Help on 1983 240D
I have been looking for another MB. I have found an ad for a 1983 240D.
Ad says: Dark red, 4 speed manual, 193K mi., Sunroof, Good Condition, $1600 What questions should I ask when I call about this car? What should I look for if I go take a look? Thanks for your help!

83 240D questions
GINGER97,
Check this thread out. It may give you some ideas and they are located in SC also. The only difference is the transmission is auto and you're looking at a manual and they are only one year apart. 1982 240D 4-Sale

If it really looks nice and runs good... Then make a written agreement with the owner to purchase it at a specified price.. an option to purchase,,, and pay for an independant company like " lemon busters' to come out... or take it to them.... they will use a check list and give you the results...
The most important thing , aside from structural rust,,, is the compression reading on the engine... However, a manual trans 240d is a great car if it is in reasonable condition... and if you don't want it... it will be snapped up by someone on this board... they are salivating as I write this answer.....  ____________________________ 1980 240d manual , manual windows, manual ac, no sunroof....

There's an 84 Euro 240D with a 5 speed in the autotrader here in DFW at $2500. ( Drool, Slobber ). Kinda spendy, but I bet it's a great car. 83 was the last year for U.S. spec 240D's.
