I was blown away by how excellent it is. The interior is near mint. I took it to Best Buy and had them install a new head unit and four new speakers. Sound is great and I can use my ipod. I do have a problem though. The cigarette lighter doesn't work. I went through all of the fuses and cleaned them up and replaced one that was shot but no luck. As I was going through them, I must have moved one to a spot where the corrosion was in the way of the contacts because it wouldn't start. I fixed the problem, but the fuses/fuse carriers seem to be extremely temperamental. Any ideas on the cigarette lighter? I would really like to use my GPS system in the little gem.

Holy cow, what a deal. how many miles? and BTW the wiring is not the 240s' strongest point. My kids biggest issue is their toys off the lighter. it starts with the ipod, then the GPS next the whole laptop for DVDs on trips and the inverter, then grows from there. After a while I just installed a (fused) home run to the battery and avoided the headaches.
Oh... and the sales tax and tags on their '92 240 was more than you paid for your whole car.

Well the horn does work after all. I guess the contact inside the horn/airbag is just a little loose. You just have to push a little harder and it works. The lighter stil doesn't work though and I really need to get it going.

This is going to be a daily commuter/trip car for me. It is nice because I can get my soon to be wife, our dog and everything else we need for a nice road trip in the car and get great MPG. I have s/c three cars that I have owned to this point and am just leaving this 240 as a reliable daily driver. If it comes down to it at some point, I would just drop a v8 in it and start modding at that point.
