I've got a line on an engine from a '78 240D that has been rebuilt. The person selling it bought it from some one else and has service records. She said that the engine didn't match her 240D and so she's selling it. She's asking $1,000.00. Saying that the engine doesn't fit sounds fishy unless her mechanic is really lazy. I offered $600.00, and she turned it down. My car needs at least $1,500.00 worth of paint and body work I was planning on getting done this year. Should I walk away from this, and just wait for a low mileage 240D to turn up to replace my '79 with?
