High-Mileage 240 Value
Hi, folks. I have a 1990 240DL with at least 866,553 miles on it (the odometer shows 866,553, but it stopped working a few years ago). It's in rough shape, but it runs and drives well enough.
I'm just curious whether that high mileage makes it worth anything. I need to sell it and get a large wagon or a full-size van, but the best offer I've had so far was $400 from the scrap-yard.
Thanks.

Typhoon: The local scrappers are paying 13 cents a pound (last time I checked, anyways), so with a car weighing just over 3,000 pounds, that's about $400 (plus whatever I can jam into it).
RSPI: I bought it about four years ago, and managed to put about 10,000 miles on it before the odometer stopped. The guy I bought it from was a courier; he'd drive a thousand miles a day regularly. That's where that mileage came from.
