Brought home today 83 240D
This was probably heading to the bone yard if I didn't buy it from the PO.
Mechanic who stored the car for the PO says needs new engine or blown head gasket.. It does start and drive, and the oil pressure gauge does get pinned on acceleration. However it didn't make it all the way up to the top of the flatbed on the ride home. This is my first 240 but I am guessing they can go up hills.
The nice things here are the interior. Seats are excellent. The dash has a few cracks but not as bad as I've seen on other Florida benzes. Seems all 4 windows & sunroof open & close fairly well . I have a folder of records 1" thick to sift through since the PO bought the with 50,000 miles in May of '87.
They kept it running and did things but it has rust issues around the rear window seal. lower doors , front fender , but on the lift the chassis is solid ....
