Opinions about 240-offer
Looked at 93 240 wagon today
http://jessynben.smugmug.com/gallery...3509#196953509
Interior is ok, drivers seat has some loose bolts, trunk-door latch is broke (wont snap to close)
Only minor surface rust on some underbody parts, red paint is faded but no peeling (southern car)
Father -> Son car, might have been a lil neglected in the past 2-3yrs but with no visible harm at least.
High pitched squeaking sometimes, driving on bad roads (suspension or interieur - couldnt figure it out)
Has some minor quirks, only problem:
Engine is leaking oil - seems to be quite a bit - from valve cover gasket or front main!
(on the side between exhaust manifold and belts in the front)
Its not greasy-dirty - its fresh and wet.
Timing belt is also due withn the next 10-15k miles - repair of the oil leak would aso include belt change I guess.
Drives ok - although its only half the pleasure with automatic, hehe
Looking at 1900$ without haggling etc.
(initially wanted 2500, 2200 painted on the car windows - now 1900$
apparently someone else (didnt show up) offeed 19hundred)
I need opinions about the oil leak on the engine, the price and everything else about this car [&:]

RE: Opinions about 240-offer
Personally I think the price is a little high but with the interior that clean and the third seat, it does not seem too bad. Valve cover gasket is $10 at napa and is easy to put on. Front main seal not too expensive but rear main will run from $350-$750 depending on where you go. as far as the squeaks go my 89 244 DL squeaks all over.
