(sorry for the multiple posts. the board flaked there for a sec)

Folks here will line up to take a late-model stick 245 with a paltry 140k.

It's a car that would last another 10 years from today, easily. I wouldn't say that about an S60. Maybe a 940, maybe not.

Nothing you can buy is as functional and easily maintained as a 240.

Go get a Dodge Caravan. Drive it for 2 years then give it to your daughter. Then she'll *wish* she had a 245.

Tell your family the old saying, "Be careful what you wish for, you might get it."

Better yet, prepare a spreadsheet on the projected repair costs of a '91 245 vs. repair/payments on an '02 Caravan. Ask your kids if they might be considering college.

Sorry for going off on a rant, but I get real tired of people who consider a 13-year-old car with 140k a washed-up piece of junk
