I am wondering what people think of the 1982 turbo wagons. I'm working on a 122 and looking for a 240 to drive regularly. There's one 1982 turbo I found with almost no rust, in really good shape structurally and internally. The problem I see is it will pop out of 2nd unless you makes sure it's firmly in gear (at least that's what the seller says), and the pushbutton overdrive doesn't always work. Is this a bad sign? I'm wondering what it could possibly be wrong with the transmission.

Another thing, are there any problems with the turbos? I know some about the non turbo engines but never heard much about the engines with turbos.
