Erwin, just my two cents worth. I have had an '87 DL Wagon since new, it now has 282,000 with just normal maintenance. Don't shy away from a manual if you find one in good shape. My original clutch went 261,000 before I replaced it - did it myself with a clutch kit from IPD along with rear engine seals. With the manual, I get 29+ on the highway, even with all the miles on it. I live in PA and rust is a problem, so watch out for cars that come from states that use a lot of salt to keep the roads clear in winter. I also have an 850 Turbo wagon and the 240 wagon definitely has more cargo room, although it suffers somewhat in rear seat leg room compared to the 850. If you can find one, the '93 Classic is a great car. Good luck.
