Where are you located? steveholz 01-14-2002, 06:27 PM Jay It's a stick. We're located about 55 miles sw of Chicago cscmc1 01-17-2002, 01:43 PM Hi Steve -- please drop me a note re: your 240. I am in Charleston, IL and might have some interest in it in the near future. Tks, Chris cscmc1@eiu.edu steveholz 01-17-2002, 02:53 PM Chris, Don't know what more you want to know. We are the second owners and have had it for about 4 years now. It had about 211K miles on it when we bought it and now has 268K. We have been driving it regularly but just purchased an '88 MB 560SEL and need to sell it. It has good tires, manual sunroof. is stick shift. The cruise was working but when I had it on the lift moved a magnet and now it doesn't but I can fix that. The heat works good but air isn't working. Biggest problem as I see it is the rust. Steve cscmc1 01-17-2002, 03:01 PM Hi Steve -- thanks for the info. Would you happen to have a pic of the car that might give a better indication of the severity of the rust? Does she use much oil? Have you had any offers on the car yet? Where are you located? Thanks! Chris cscmc1@eiu.edu steveholz 01-18-2002, 10:28 AM Chris Will get you pictures Saturday when the car is home in daylight. Did I tell you it is yellow with tan interior? We're located in rural Minooka north of route 80 between 55 and 47. steveholz 01-22-2002, 10:39 PM Chris I took pictures and will try to attach them but best I can figure I can only attach 1 at a time. The car uses a quart of oil every 800-1000 miles, mostly leaks through the seals and at start up when cold. We haven't advertised much so don't have any offers as of yet. steveholz 01-22-2002, 10:41 PM Chris That didn't work--the file was too big. I'll try email 240Joe 01-23-2002, 01:27 PM steve email me the photos when you get them. I too am in Illinois, near st. louis, Mo and am interested. joe Dalcorn 01-25-2002, 07:29 PM How's cold weather starting? steveholz 01-27-2002, 12:09 PM David It's never been a problem. It has always started even after a day at work. At night it is almost always in a garage so while it isn't heated there it's started right up there as well. Burgenlander 01-27-2002, 08:26 PM Steve do you still have the car if you do let me know I'm close to Michigan city Indiana and would be real interested in it. steveholz 01-28-2002, 11:30 AM Yes, we still have the car.
