Hi. How many high mileage 240's are out there being used as daily drivers? My '88 wagon is at 281,000. I drive it 500 miles a week. The engine is original, doesn't use oil between changes and still gets 27 MPG. I had to replace the M47 5 speed two years ago. I learned the hard way to check the fluid level at every oil change! It still looks good inside and out. It has yet to be on a rollback. I should shut up as it will probably blow up tomorrow! I know that there are higher mileage cars out there. I am curious about daily drivers and long far they have gone without serious problems.
