Value of 91 244 update, took a test drive, unimpressed

Hey Bob,
I gotta tell you, Ive had two turbos, and five non-turbos and as far as I'm concerned if I ever buy another Turbo it will be to turn for a few bucks. The regular 240's I have had are most trouble free cars I have ever owned. They average 26 MPG, go 90 MPH uphill, and run forever. Every time one of them acts up I figure I will need to stuff big bucks into it to get the car running again, but it turns out to be minor. When the Turbos act up, I find my self taking out a loan to fix a car to produce more than I require of it.

The normal 240's do all I need. For real performance handling, I seat in the right-seat of 750,000 MTGW eighteen-wheeler, that Boeing puts their stamp on.
