Anything to watch out for?

Want to keep this one for a while - great for family, dogs & more importantly, towing race car.

Thanks

RUST (check very carefully on the tailgate, around the number plate, number plate lights etc.)

Also check tops of doors under rubber seal, front crossmember and front wings for rust.

Towing? in a 240. Buyer beware; due to its lack of torque this engine muddles along barely adequately, in real life day to day use it will average 22-24mpg. Put in some gear and a trailer and I dread to think the outcome. Is there no way your budget will stretch to an E320cdi? Happy hunting.
