My '89 245 is going strong with 193K miles. It does not burn oil, gets 18 mpg city and 25+ on the highway. I have driven up lots of hills with my two, 200 lb+ sons and the car stays at speed (55-60) except on the steepest of hills. Look hard at suspension components as the bushings and shocks need replacing at 100K or so miles (although mine lasted until about 170K miles). The 240 line is true "fill it up and change the oil regularly and it will last forever" type of car.

Good luck!
