I actually did; he works on everything Volvo or Saab.

He basically didn't wanna lean one way or the other without seeing the car. He did say the stick shift was a plus in the 265 but said that the low miles might actually be bad; he said a lot of people back then "babied" the cars, which he said thrive on highway driving above 5000 rpm. But, he said, the stick shift means the original owner might've revved it higher, which is good for it.

As for the 245, he had no real opinion on it without seeing it but said that engine is more durable overall.
