I didnt think you liked 140's. Did you sell one that was your parents or something? So tell about the new one you bought? Also tell about this old beat up 95? They getting rid of it?
The 140 did change quite a bit. Some things for the better, some not. The earlier ones had more features, but also had potential wiring harness issues and such, as well as the evaporator etc. The later ones they seem to be stripped down somewhat with less features, and things that were standard on the earlier ones, are optional on the later ones. By then they had wiring issue solved. Not sure about the evaporator thing or not. Did that ever get solved in the 140? tom savage wrote: > I just bought a 140 also.
