I am looking into buying a 240 wagon, and was wondering if there was a year that was better than the rest or are they all pretty much the same? Thanks
Mike

Mike,
Galvanized panels were 86 on.
1 Early turbo's are hot.
2 86-87 are peppy.
3 Later had ABS.
There are 3 basic schools of thought on this.
The lemons have lemoned out,by this time,and
as Klaus said it is the owner who kept the car
well maintained that makes the difference.

I like the 1988. The 1989 had new electronics which were a bear. The 1992 is also very good. It all depends on the seller, can you trust him/her? What kind of service records?
