We've had a 89 240 since new and it's the most durable car we've ever owned. My daughter is now driving it. I bought a 97 850 wagon 2 years ago (non turbo) and have loved it. Even without the turbo performance is much better than a 240 as is handling, plus it's a much more comfortable car. I don't think the 5cyl engine will match the durability of the 240's 4cyl but I'm definitely expecting to break 200k if I keep it that long. Nothing has gone wrong with the 850 yet except the AC switch being replaced (cheap fix). BTW, the 850 actually pumps out nice cold air in the summertime.
