The chance of buying one of my dream cars has come up and in a bid to raise some funds I'm trying to sell some cars. First up is my 240 glt.

We'll start with the bad bits, the photos flatter it, there are various scratches on the paintwork which may polish out, the bumpers are scuffed in places and the front bumper has been repaired in the past. Missing mudflap on the rear
There's a hockey stick missing on the rear. The drivers seat has been replaced with blue cloth, the rest is beige leather. the drivers side front wing has been touched up after a scrape which is only really noticeable if you look for it.
There's a bit of play in the steering which is noticeable on very bumpy roads. The only rust I can see is surface rust at the bottom of one of the rear wheel arches and some slight bubbling on the bottom of the rear screen.

The good bits
The engine is smooth with plenty of torque, it's a great big barge to run around in and has never let me down, it handles reasonably well on stock suspension. Electric windows and sunroof work, the central locking works on everything apart from the passenger front door. There's a tow bar fitted and the electrics are working. The rear shocks can be made stiffer using a valve located in the boot.
Overall it's in good condition with no terminal rot, it won't require welding anytime soon.
I've used the car sporadically over the last year and it has been a reliable old bus and covered 2k miles with ease.

I'm after £900 for it which I think is fair considering some people seem to think 240 values are on the up, The car does have its faults which I have listed in detail and could be rectified over the course of a weekend if you were inclined to do so.
