about 10 years ago i bought one of my 8 or so 240ds. it had about 180,000 on it i think. i picked it up on thursday, changed oil filter, oil, fuel filters, air filters and headed out on a 1000 mile one way trip. my wife thought i was nuts (no mention of world class cojones by her)... i said no... i was just sure it was a good sound car. no problem. it didnt miss a beat.
