Hi Guys
I have an 86 240 DL, which is just a great little car, no two ways about
it. I also have a parts car for it, an 82 240 GLE Turbo, that I picked up
years ago. To make a long story short, a friend wants to buy the 86 but
doesn't want the parts car. I had always envisioned the next owner to take
the parts car with it, and I just hate to give the 82 to a salvage yard for
$25.00, which is the going price here, because I just know it'll end up
crushed. It's still pretty much complete, but the motor is locked up. The
turbo is all there, so I suppose my main question is; How much can I get for
the turbo & accessories for it ?? I just hate to give it away when there are
so many good things there for someone to use. For instance, it still has the
original windshield & other glass, plus moonroof. Anyway, thanks for the
ear.
Regards
Rich

If the motor is locked up it was probably run out of oil in which case the
turbo is very likely to be scrap. If the car is mostly complete though
perhaps you can sell it as a fixer? Is the body straight? Rust free? How's
the interior? There's plenty of beat up or rusted out but nicely running
240's out there.

$25 DOLLARS ?ask a wrecker for the mirror alone or maybe a headlight and see
what your cars worth when its taken apart .it hurts doesn't it ?
 
Sorry I haven't been back on for awhile. Had some things to do out of town.
I'm in Oklahoma City & the car is very straight & rust free. The interior is
dark blue & in remarkably good shape. No tears, just a few places where ya
rub getting in & out. The only cosmetic problems are the parts that I've put
back on from the 86, (tail light lenses, etc),, I mean hey, that's why I
bought it.
