Local ad came up yesterday for a supposedly mint 91 240 sedan, with only 60,000 miles on it, which was found in the garage of a house someone bought from an estate. He got the car checked out and has been driving it. He didn't like the look of the brick and didn't know what he could get for it so he put up the ad. By the time I talked to him, some guy from out of town was driving in and had offered $3500. I wasn't sure I wanted to pay that much (thinking that if this car has sat a few years it may have hidden issues). Plus what I really want is a station wagon, and this is a sedan. So relunctantly I passed up on it and it likely sold.
This made me think: unless one will be regularly hauling stuff with the car, is there that much of a trade-off between a nice 240 sedan and a wagon? I seem to recall that the trunk is rather large on a 240 sedan (do the rear seats fold forward for larger stuff?), and one could always put a good roof rack on it to haul something bigger. With good 240 specimens being very few and far between it seems, should I expand my search to a nice sedan if another one comes along??
