About like our trailer... except try loading a SDL on and off the thing. Exhaust bolts and things drag alarmingly every time, we have to line up JUST right with all the banks and hills and ditches and things so as not to scoop with the back bumper but still add some clearance (By reducing the angle of descent) for the exhaust (and the body, for that matter).

Last time we misjudged it just a bit. Back bumper was just about ready to scoop the bank behind the car and the front wheels were on the first or second rungs of the ramps. Ended up just pulling the trailer out from under it... desperate times, desperate measures

Too bad you already spent the $250. Look what you could've gotten.

I picked up a 240D for $300.00 five years ago, and it's been my daily driver ever since. I've put 60,000 miles on it. I love these cars.
