What qualifies as a first class piece of junk?

Personally I wouldn't look at anything less than a 1991 for the 240 series anymore. 91-93 only. There's too much tired iron out there now, for which you might pay money to find that it's just the same as your 91.

The 120k mark is one that will definitely cost you some money. Generally around 100k through 130k or so can really ring up the bill. That's the time that you start replacing suspension parts, brake rotors, and some electronic items as well. For me, I hate that mileage range. But IF you do the work, you usually get to about 200k without much trouble.
