My wife and I just picked up an 88 240. Only has 38,000 miles on it. Has stock exhaust, interior is nearly new and runs like a new car. Zero rust on anything, ie, undercarriage and body. The front clip has been replaced, and whoever did the paint did a fairly good job blending in to the doors. When we went to look at it I was skeptical so brought no money figuring it was a scam or something. Turns out it was legit, the real deal. Made a deal for the car, paid too much for it, and it is now ours. This is the third 240 we have owned, and should go for another 20 years. Good to be back in a brick.

 

Well, this is not "clip" replacement... what you describe is just paintwork. A clip means the whole front end was sawed off and a new clip was welded on usually close to the A pillars. Bottom line, sounds like a nice car, enjoy!

 

Thank you for the clarification. I just learned the proper use of the term!
