Interesting 240 4spd. conversion on Ebay
 

The car look decent.

Yeah, 2000miles on 34gallons (18 gallon aux tank and 16 gallon stock tank) ain't possible. That works out to about 58mpg. His later 800-1000mile range is more realistic with 29mpg. Even still, that's an extra 250lbs of fuel in the trunk. I doubt a 240D can get 29mpg with that much extra weight.

$2500? It's worth about $250 to me with that conversion hacked into it.
