119,912 original, documented miles. Body is in very solid condition for its age with very little rust—see undercarriage pictures. Paint is original except for the right rear fender(I scraped the wheel flare on a parking garage pillar) and the rear deck lid that was painted at some time before I purchased it--paint is cloudy. It has a current VA registration to July2024, and a valid inspection sticker to August 2024.

It runs but it does not drive. The rear differential failed shortly after I had it inspected in August 2023 (Silver Star Motors had diagnosed it was wearing out June of 2023). According to them, it also needs upper control arms. Driver's seat wobbles. AC compressor needs replacement. Vacuum system disabled. I own 3 other cars so it is time for “Erwin” to go to a new home (he is named after the German tank commander, because 240Ds are tanks!).

Folks, it is well maintained, but not a show car. Clean CARFAX except for one clerical error in Feb 2023. Scammers: I work in law enforcement. You are forewarned so I recommend you don’t try.
