I recently purchased a near new engine wiring harness for my 85 245. Everyone has said that the 85 harness is a piece of crap, and maybe they are. Mine is in great shape. This could be due to the extreme low miles, and the fact that the car has not been exposed to the elements. At any rate, the technician inspected mine, and tells me that there are no issues with my harness.

The harness that I purchased is supposed to fit an 85-88 Non Turbo. I have inspected the harness, and it is complete, and has absolutely no embrittlement of the insulation. The portion that goes under the engine is shielded. The entire harness is very clean, but not just scrubbed. You can find a little dirt where you should, so I believe the seller, who said that the harness was removed from a 1988 model that was wrecked.

I paid $112.50 plus $10.00 shipping for it. If anyone needs it to get their car back on the road, I will part with it. I don't want to warehouse spare parts. I would rather sell it to someone who really needs it, than to sell it to someone who would just put it on one of the auction sites.
