Thanks, Max. I am willing to put some money into this 240D since it has such nice paint and runs so well. It would be nice to have working AC in it. With AC, a new modulator!or adjustment, engine mounts which I have, a new winsshield, a reconditioned driver’s seat, and restoring the rear seat pleat strips, it will be great!! For the couple thousand dollars in addition to the $1500 purchase price, I’ll have a very presentable car that will only appreciate, not depreciate like my Beetle TDI was doing!
