Replacement for 240? 200

Of course it depends on how much you are willing to spend, and whether you are (as I am) subbornly attached to rear wheel drive.

There are some exellent buys in used 5-series BMWs and selected models of Mercedes that have the reputation for being quarter-million-mile cars. Brace yourself for MUCH higher parts prices.

If the kids are grown and you don't need a lot of room for soccer equipment, I really like the 3-series BMWs, E-36 body style, 1995-1999. I have one and intend to buy another as my girls go off to college and need cars. My wife's '97 328 is a lot like brother-in-law's S70 Volvo in that there are several annoying details that keep breaking every year or two, but the engine/drivetrain are rock-solid. Zero repairs in the first 60k miles.
