Look in the archives for How to Buy a Used 240. There is alot of good info there. Watch Ebay for critcal parts that you know you'll eventually need. Water pump,thermostadt,plug wires,tie-rod end,balljoints etc.. Get to know what importers have the best prices. They advertise on the BBoard. FPC Groton, andy@importpartsspec.com, that will also give you a good idea on how much to bid on an auction item. IPD (www.ipduas.com) has a few items you may want. Get on their mailing list. A Robert Bentley manual is a must in my opinion. Check Ebay or IPD for that item. It seems the most expensive items are the ones you need NOW. Go to the pick-a-part yards and get spare Air Mass Meter, Trans solenoid,(auto) OD relay,as well as little clips, fasteners and trim pieces. Ask questions. That's what we are all here for. Go for Bosch over Borg Warner,and Bougicord over Bullshi^%$^! Sometimes you'll get too much information. A DL will never be a dragster. Don't get caught up in the "rice rocket" mentality. Well I better shut up before I step on any toes. Your driving THE BEST! Enjoy!
