I've got a '90 245 5 speed with 284,xxx miles. When I bought it 4 1/2 years ago with 199,xxx miles, I took it to my mechanic who specializes in imports to get his opinion. His comment was, "If you don't buy it, I'm gonna buy it!"

The only things I've had to do on has been 2 timing belts, a brake job on the front and replaced to original clutch at 281,xxx miles. Other improvements were a new stereo, tinted windows, new shocks and rebuilt drivers seat.

Over all, the cost of ownership has been very minimal and I love the cheap insurnance on the 245.
