Factory color? 200 1989

Greetings Bricksters: Due to my present ride ('87 240. 190K, daily driver) being attacked by the dreaded "tin worm" here in Cleveland, am considering replacing it with another. Had occasion to stop at one of the local lots here today and saw, among the other offerings the following:
1989 240 Wagon 135K (really nice shape) $2995
1991 740 Wagon 125K (impressive) $3995
1990 760 Turbo Intercooler Wagon 91K (pretty decent shape) $2500
Didn't have the time to drive any of them yet, and the dilemna is obvious: should I stick with what I know (the 240) or venture into something a little more 'exotic' (if that term can be used to describe a brick) like the 760. Any help in that regard would be most appreciated. Comments? Anyway, back to my original question. The 240 is a most delightful royal blue metallic with buckskin interior. I can't recall ever seeing that color on these cars before and I'm wondering if it is, in fact, a factory blue. Didn't notice any of the telltale signs of a repaint, so if it's not, someone did a REALLY good job laying color on the car. Anyone familiar with the colors on these things. Thanks, as always!

Brad
