The 240 series is a great car. My wife and I bought 85 & 86 wagons new and put 203K and 248K on them. I really liked those 2 wagons. I felt that they were very safe and I was happy with their limited repair needs and that I could do most of them myself.

The only reason I moved us to the 850's (starting in '95 for my wife) were that they had airbags, front wheel drive and ABS brakes which I thought were great additional safety features. And I expected to pass them on to our kids when they got old enough.

I guess it depends on your situation, family and funds. They are both good cars.

Don.
