Only buy it if you promise to love, honor, and obey it!! Also if you don't have any aversion to climbing hills in the truck lane while the rest of the world flies past (don't worry, you can catch them again on the downhill!).
Having had an 85 gas and two 82 diesel 240 wagons, the diesels have a lot more personality and seem more reliable (opinion only--no hard data to back it up!). Diesels are a lot less maintenance intensive -- if you keep the oil changed and the air filter and belts replaced regularly, they stay pretty happy. My first diesel had 290+,000 before the heater motor caught fire and destroyed the interior.
