Greg,
I just gave my 88 780 to a charity. Poor thing. The interior things are unique to this model. The electrical and engine are the same as the 760 of the same year. Body parts are hard to come by. They have all of the mechanical problems of a 760 rear drive auto, plus electrical seat problems which are unique. It has a power glide seat switch which moves the seat forward when tilted forward, and back to original position. The rear seat only holds two small people comfortably.
The V6 engine has a lot of torque and is pretty good. It only gets about 20mpg on the highway. The turbo-4 is a little bit faster. The real problem? A 1987-88 V6 is worth less than $2000 if it is in very good condition. You will never get your monies worth out of it. Keep your 240 and be blessed you didn't make a mistake.
