Let's say that I want to hold on to my '85 wagon for at least the next 10 years.
A couple years ago, there were a good number of 240s that came through the closest salvage yard, but it's really starting to dry up in the last year. Roughly 28 240s/year 2 years ago, 33 240s/year a year ago, and only 14 240s/year in the last year. There's still a few 940s, and an occasional 740, that show up.
What are the recommendations on spare parts that should I acquire now from the local salvage yards, or from the under-appreciated sellers in For Sale? I assume that the normal maintenance stuff will continue to be available (filters, plugs, wires, hoses, etc.).
Is one extra MAF, ignition module, ecu, ezk, etc. enough, or should I double down on some of these while they're more available?
Thx,
Bob
