buy a used volvo or new?(off topic) Show your opinion, please! 200 1990

Hi, Folks:

(This post is a kind of off topic. But, I think people here may give me more helpful info.)

I got a Volvo 240 DL Wagon (130,000 mile, 1990) last Dec. The baby is my first car, tell the truth, I love it. Since I am a poor student, it is a little bit luxury for me. I visitied Europe in 1999, and there I knew volvo.

Next May, I will graduate, hehe~~, make money. Hopefully, I may find a job $60,000-80,000. At that time, I think, I will change my car. But, today, when I tried www.autotrader.com to check the price. Oh, my godness! Even 1998 V70 asks for $25,000+. The new volvo is above $30,000. So, here comes the question:

1. Buy a new volvo, $30,000+

2. Buy a used volvo (2-4 year old), $20,000~25,000+

3. Keep my old 240, and spend money fixing it. (Now, it is staying in the shop, need $800 to make it running great. :( )

Which is better? Show your opinions, please!

Thanks!

Shawn
