Good points on waste of fluids/etc. versus waste of a car that could last longer. I think in the end it comes down to how lazy/cheap one is with maintenance. Me, I am both cheap and lazy.

New cars (good ones anyways) are much better made and made from better materials. It's almost scary for a Volvo driver who never sells a car, but rather keeps driving it until it dies. At least with a 240 you could count on it eventually rusting away to the point where it's easier to replace than fix. Now that they don't rust I could be faced with driving this 850 for a long long time (could be worse I suppose).
