What Volvo Can Replace by Solid 1991 240 Wagon? 200 1993

posted by  someone claiming to be SL8Brick on  Wed Jul 7 05:02 CST 2004 [RELATED]

Yea, I've been there too. The Wife & Kids constantly complain about our 245. The Wife doesn't like it because its not as smooth, quiet and zippy as her 2003 VW Golf. The kids don't like it just because its too "old school" for them. But the bottom line is....its paid for and even @ 181k miles, it still seems to have a lot of usable service left.
The funny thing is, while returning home in our 240 from our weekend roadtrip, I was contemplating the exact same question. The only conclusion I've reached is that I'd have to spend at least $30K for a new wagon that would be capable of filling our 245s shoes. And even then, I could never be assured that a new $30k wagon could endure what our current wagon already has. That's not a very pleasant thought, is it? :(
