I just (2 moths ago) picked up an 82 240D 4 speed with only 52K original miles. White with tan int. Bought it from the original owner for $6000. Has all the original documentation. I was driving it home and looking around inside and noticed a black cassette in the becker deck, I popped it in and it said "welcome to your new stereophonic becker sound system" it was the original owners familiarization tape for the deck!

A little high for an 82 but the car is in like new cond, inside and out! The only things I've had to do so far are the normal old 123 items. Even though the car has been garraged most of its life the rubber around the front and rear windows have dried out and shrunk up a small bit over the years so I had them replaced, flushed the PS fluid, brake fluid ect ect. Also this year came with a PLASTIC factory gas tank. I kept smelling fuel in the car, especially when I would fill up. Someone told me that mercedes issued a service bulletin for that car to get rid of the plastic tank so I changed out the plastic tank to a custom Long Range aluminum tank made for the car that I had lying around. I debated on keeping the car 100% stock but i ended up installing the long range tank (39gal and it looks pretty factory in the trunk once the carpet and backing board are re-installed) and installing a new radio in place of the becker (I kept all the original items also and won't do anything to the car thats not easily reversable). So far I'm super happy with the car, I was looking at buying a new honda civic and now I'm glad that I found the 240D. The 240 is a very comfortable relaxing car to drive.
