Tom,

I've had an 83'240DL and I loved it. Had 240K on it before trad-in. Doing
it's time, the 240/244 was the $%@*. Now I have a 95'850GLT with 127k and it runs and handles like a mad man. I've had no problems with either Volvo's. Like Rob said, the parts for the 850 are more costly then the 240. However it's worth it the cost. If I have the room and money I'd get an 242/244(limited) and keep both.

Boogie,
