You can do a basic alignment and the car still be bent as !@#$. The front unibody bends quite easily on these cars during a crash.Given how little is adjustable on the alignment of these cars, usually alignment is all you need to know if the car is square or not. If it aligns, it's very unlikely that the body is bent. If a setting is too far out to be corrected that's a red flag.
It's a turd. How many times do we have to tell you it's a turd before you get the message and move on?So what do you guys think of the Jeri rigged shifter with the wiring going from it down to the transmission ?
This. This. And this.Good bones and a straight body are the problem pieces anymore, with the cars outliving their 20 year 'lifespan'.
It's most likely this car since it's near him, priced low and has a salvage title.I think this car sounds like a problem. Is the price extremely low? Are you looking for a project? It seems like there should be other 240's for sale in CA.

Somewhere in 87, [I think late in the year] so many of them are good in fact I wouldn't write off any of the LH 2.2 cars since most have replacement harnesses by now anyway...
Edit:
Or even a nice B23 / LH 2.0 car.
Also, don't limit yourself to 1990-93 240's. The 1989 models are mostly the same, but without the bomb in the steering wheel. I've actually downdated my family's '92 to an '89, since it had the 1st generation bomb installed.

It's actually functional as an airbag. A friend just had his '93 get smashed head on up to the A-pillar and the airbag actually did some good. Of course, I was in a pretty good collision in an '85 245 20 years ago... so I'm not sold.
