240d insanity is contagious

[andrewjtx]

This thread has been officially inspired by Dropnosky.

So someone had posted on the CL alert thread a china blue 240d for sale in Austin. VSTech had mentioned that someone around here should go look at it.

I did, at first, for the forum members. When no one gave him a reasonable offer, he reposted the car as 'first $500' take it home. Needless to say I had $500 I didn't mind parting with.

That car was a bit dirty, but over all it just needed a new alt belt, needs engine mounts and clutch hydraulics worked on. (been reading threads on the last part)

It's a cute little car. As soon as we get the title worked out (PO never transferred into his name, now I can't transfer to mine. This may be a big headache) it goes to the farm to be slowly worked over in time for my mother's fall birthday. She needs better MPG on her 70mile round-trip commute.
