FULL DISCLOSURE:
I've been commuting with this car and it's been very reliable. I would not hesitate to take it on a road trip, to the canyons, or just about anywhere. The previous owner (I am the 3rd) got into the habit of disconnecting the battery when he'd park it for long periods, stating that something was potentially draining the battery while the car was off. While I never hunted down this issue, I did the same thing, and it's started up every time I'd reconnect the battery.
Front bumper has a paint chip (shown in photos), and some other markings. It's not massive, but it's there.

Gas Mileage: Was getting about 25-26 combination driving while commuting. Regularly saw over 300 miles a tank.

I have a set of Hawk HPS that will be included.

I noticed recently that the radiator fans were not turning on when the car was getting hot. It was only apparent because the car was idling while I was taking photos, but not sure what it is exactly. When I drove it, never had a problem, and I even drove it in traffic on a hot day. However, I have lowered the price again to reflect this.

Overall, this car is very fun to drive, and quite quick. A/C has been removed, as well as the radio and rear seats. Still has buttery power steering (not sure why people remove power steering). This weight savings allowed the car to be slightly lighter than most, and never had a problem having fun around corners, both with grip and forcing oversteer. Clutch engages perfectly, transmission shifts smooth, boost comes on strong and makes a great sound. Adjust the 'high boost' setting, and toggle it on-the-fly for instant power increase. I never turned the boost past 10-12psi (I left it on "low" setting) but at this level, the car really pulls. Turbo spools and boost without issue. Suspension is tight, corners flat, responsive steering, and when you want to have a little fun, it's very easy to toss the car, though admittedly, it spent most of it's time commuting and cornering.

Interior could use a seat upgrade, but for what it is, it worked fine for me. Seats have seen better days, have some tears, but have recently been shampooed. Dashboard is cracked, which is sadly common. It does, however have a HUD, but alas, that also isnt functioning. Sunroof opens and closes without issue.

Engine-wise and driving-wise, I have had zero issues with the car. Commuting was easy, and just putting gas in it and regularly keeping an eye on it had me smiling. It does turn heads and I've gotten many compliments on it. I have another car, and havent been driving the 240 much lately, but I took it out recently while taking photos, and had a few second thoughts about selling it, but it's time to give this car a good home where someone can enjoy it.

I am accepting offers and am VERY motivated to sell, but I am in no hurry. No trades, please. Cash talks. -=* Make an offer *=-.

PLEASE NOTE: All emails will be swiftly responded to (rigwiggler at gmail dot com), provided you supply a phone number. I will answer text messages to 310 sixsixsix 5 seven zero 6. I would love to see the car go to a great home!

I am rather new here, and been a lurker for some time. I love this car, but my priorities have changed significantly over the past few months. The car is great, albeit a bit of an impulse buy. I'm happy to say that I've owned this car, but I have an Audi S4 as well... and I love that more.

The 240 is excellent, but it breaks my heart to have a car so nice not seeing the street regularly. It's just time. I can make myself available to show the car any time.

It was hit on the rear quarter panel, which "salvaged" the car. I wasnt the owner at the time. That's it. Car was repaired (obviously) and back on the road.

And yes, it is very rad.
