which years of the 240 series are the best? 200

I am considering buying a second 240. I already have a 1990 240 wagon, which I bought a year ago and went through a lot of problems. I learned alot and feeling confident about my mechanic skills, I am tempted to get a second 240 for fun.

Actually most of the time I ride the train to work, but I just love the simplicity and durability of 240's. They are just fun to work on.

Also, the advent of internet parts suppliers like Eeuroparts, FCPgroton and IDP really made my hobby affordable and pleasurable. Each time I buy parts from the internet and save tons of $$, it feels like I am giving the middle finger to the dealer. The local dealer only serves to supply parts that I need RIGHT NOW!! Even then, I get pissed off about how much they charge. On most parts, they charge 2 to 3 times what the internet suppliers charge.

I saw a 1988 240 that has new tires and a new clutch with only 140K. California car, which means no rust. She wants about 2500 bucks. I am tempted. I recall reading sometime ago that 1988 240's are the best. Can anyone tell me why?

Thanks
