What do you think? Not the greatest looking 240 on the road, but when it's running it's great. Smooth, quite w/good gas mileage. Paint is blotchy on the hood and trunk. I can't get it started and am pretty sure that it's due to a very loose shifter. I don't think it's making the connection necessary. Blower motor is out, but I could live with that. Odometer stopped at 171,000. My kid drove it to school and back in HS so I guessing that it's at 180,000, 185,000 would be very generous. Some cig burns on the seats, but that's about it. It passed inspection last year, 3/06 and is due again. Of course the tail lights have been an issue, but are working and have been for awhile.

I can live with the ugliness considering #3.00/gal. How much would it cost to get the gear thing fixed so that I have relibility? I'm not an idiot, have a basic sense of mechanics, but my knowledge in the area leaves a lot to be desired. I've got a manual that tells me to tighten the screw to the right of the shifter shaft. (done that. nothing)

Your thought?

With much appreciation
