nice car,good condition. its a 5speed so it shouldnt drop its transmission at 160K like mine did! =)
Since you guys are talking about cleaning engines ill throw u a few heads up before you try doing it =) there are plenty of articles on the web about this also. make sure that you cover up everything electrical...alternator, battery, fuse box, MAF, any computer connections. i use plastic wrap when i did mine. one thing that seems to be very vulnerable on the 240 is the spark plugs, i got a little water down in mine and it messed up my idle for a few days but then went away, if its possible i would take out the spark plug wires and cork up the holes left. then wrap the wires up. i never tried engine degreaser, i couldnt find it at the time, so i just used WD40 and a tooth brush (the same one i use! arg!) to remove all the grease and it works fine. i would stay away from high pressure, i used an open hose, u might nudge something lose, but other than that as long as u dont spray the computer connections directly i dont think it would be a problem, a power washer is what detail places use.
