My 240D is an 81 with 383000 miles on it.'s original 4spd manual tranny. The tranny now needs work. Grinds quite badly at times when changing out of 2nd. Definately needs new lubrication and probably new shift linkage bushings etc. Very notchy feel and sometimes cant get it to go int 1st. Not a huge deal as I just start off a bit slower in 2nd. Rather like the auto. Anyway. That's a car that's had a hard life with 100000 more miles on it than the one you're looking at and it's still my daily driver. So I'd say that purely from a reliability point of view you are probably going to be fine with this one.
