Posted on the 200 series list I can imagine that most forum users would say keep the 245. My opinion is that you should keep the 245 of course! I think a case could be made for keeping the 245 because it's the least abused of the 3, and should be most likely to give you reliable service. I presently am running a 1990 240 that was poorly maintained for a while by its previous owner. It really takes a while and $ to catch back up on all the jobs left undone by previous owners (in the case of my car, all brakes and many suspension bushings, tracing the sources of an array of error codes in the computer, missing or broken bits of trim, etc, etc).

I doubt that the 945 would be safer given the condition it sounds like it's in -- who knows if the airbags would even deploy in an accident.
