I'm halfway through my engine swap in the wife's car, and now I'm thinking.... She needs something quite dependable for her work, and the newest 240 I'll ever find is now 17 years old. I really love the old brick, and I'll probably have one in the fleet forever, but what are folks here moving on to after the brick? Vehicles here in Maine live short hard lives, and the ole 245 is not immune from the elements here. Im thinking similar money and wrenchability to the 245, really can't quite swing a 2000 and up XC70 AWD, and heard horrid things about the early ones.

Shane '90 245 '93 245 (undergoing swap to '91 powerplant) '62 Rambler, '85 Alfa, '60 Sunbeam... oh god, there must be a cure for this!!
