Probably not 100% accurate, but they were less loved than the P2. The RNC white blocks and the 3.0L SI6 T6 engine were both great engines, not too many issues with either of them. The later Drive-E engines on the other hand are questionable.

High miles and i hear the pre-08 ones have the electrical issues, and this one has the sagging headliner. But nice color and it's still a manual trans whiteblock so im sure plenty of life left for $1500

Wow, that gray one is mint! I've never seen a 240 with paint so nice! Mine has a thick layer of dirt/pollen/everything else that will accumulate after sitting for over a year :lol:
