1991 240 GLE
Picked up as a project, never got around to it.

Body is rough and paint has faded, would suit wrecking or possible resto.

Included is 5x GLE multispoke wheels

Engine and auto transmission are very strong, shifts are smooth and crisp.

Cluster has 300K on it.

Asking $900 OBO

$900 OBO

How driveable is it? Would it kill me driving it back to Yass?

Julian (@Ghettobird) · May 30

It drives great!
Id get an alignment done because im pedantic, but otherwise she'd have no issue getting there

Hi Looking for a red block to put in my 1991 740. Sedan . Are you interested in wrecking your 240? Bill

egads (@egads) · May 30

Oh, you have a PM btw, am keen

BJ (@wdj) · May 30

Don't know what a pm btw is about sorry. I am old. Bill

Alex (@ALVO360) · May 31

@wdj Hey Bill, I believe egads was talking to the seller, but for your reference 'PM' is an acronym for 'Private Message', and 'BTW' is an acronym for 'By The way'.

Put your mind at ease because these abbreviations confuse the best of us. I still regularly Google them.

Thanks

Berry Motor Group will have a motor for you.

BJ (@wdj) · May 31

Thanks for that. Yes Mark is very helpful and I use them regularly. Trying to find an engine for a reasonable price even if it is a bit of a drive.

Can I interest you in a turbo engine?
Came out of a 740, though the turbo is older.

ROLL DMC (@dmc) · June 1

Well, the turbo is from an 850 T5R, the turbo 'kit' is older.

BJ (@wdj) · June 2

Just need the block so yes if it is a good runner not smoking and I can put the non turbo manifolds on it. Thanks.

I have motors from $400 in stock. The above 240 GLE was my car once bought from auction Manheim 8 years ago think I payed $1200 bought an 850R the same day $2200

BJ (@wdj) · June 2

Thanks Mark I will beat a Path to your door if I can't get a cheaper option. The car owes me too much now and I want to concentrate on my 240,s they are keeping me busy enough. Bill

900 for a running and driving late model GLE, bargain. Somebody save it from being parted out.

egads (@egads) · June 2

I am!

Anthony (@ToomanyVolvos) · June 2

Probably got the B230FX too!

I've got a non running 92-93 wagon in the same colour (just GL) that I need to move on. I've just got too much on my plate and it's at my late father's place that needs to be cleared. I was hoping for similar money for that, much less and I'll just have to part it out. I'll piggyback on this thread for any interested parties. Mines in Sydney.

I think Julian just needed it gone and the cosmetic stuff and bit of rust scared off the normal late 240 buyers. Luckily I am not normal!
