Hi

I've got an opportunity to get a good condition '88 240 sedan. It's done about 300,000km and is a manual. I've got an 80 at present 310,000 carburettor and only 4 speed manual.

Is the 88 likely to have wiring harness problems?

Is the 88 manual gearbox OK?

How about the Fuel Injection? is it better than a carb? Reliable?

I've heard the later ones rust less, though I've little rust in my '80. Is this true.

Anything else to be careful of?

thanks
