1991 240 DL automatic white, blue cloth

Nearly 300K miles but in very good condition
The body is straight as an arrow, no dings or dents, 100% rust free
The interior is very decent, except for broken lower door panels (what else is new)
New trans cable, shifts 110%. No oil leaks.
Engine is quiet and smooth, no smoke
Car needs a front end rebuild, all tie rods, control arms etc, not a whole lot more. Good tires
A/C not working at the moment but may just be a simple leak. Blower fine, compressor fine
AS IS: $800
Fixed, the above price plus the repairs (I pay wholesale for parts and labor)
Pictures available, email me: jrl1194 (at) aol (dot) com

Update:
Front end has been rebuilt, service and tune up. New PA State inspection, wiper blades, filters, car needs nothing.
New price; $1500 all done, and detailed. It is now a very nice 240 in all aspects
Mod note. Jim passed away in early 2022, his contributions to this forum are immortal, and he is missed. RIP

I would be extremely interested in this car, if only I could get rid of my '98 S70.

one would think, but in today's economy who knows ... it didn't cost anything to ask and I'm way too frustrated with the a/c on my 960

My suggestion is to email Jim (there is a tab at the bottom of his post for this). He deals cars and I haven't heard about the 240 since last year, so I doubt he still has it, but I guess you don't know until you ask. Good luck!
