Letting go of my 240d
It is a joy to drive, and was my daily driver for several years. Original owner bought in Germany in 1979 and kept records of every trip to the gas station for 20+ years. He gave it to a friend, and it sat for a while before I picked it up in 2012. With some fix ups it was a reliable commuter and a traveling marvel of simplicity and engineering.
With a job change I no longer need the commuter, and haven't had time to tend to it. This week I realized that the brake calipers need some work - and I decided it is time for the next owner to take over.
To a good home, $1500 obo
The good:
Nice interior
Great engine
Smooth clutch and transmission
Low miles - under 150k
The bad:
Lots of rust
Some vacuum leaks
1 or more calipers need rebuilding
Work done:
New fuel lines
New brake lines
Reconditioned calipers
New battery
Updated to parallel fast start glow plugs
Reinforced floor
Rust work
Restuffed seats
Replaced rear suspension
New shocks
