Okay, this girl I'm sort of seeing (asking for advice there is an entirely different topic) is the market for a new car.
She always buys cheap cars on their last legs, runs them into the ground, and then gets rid of them. The most she's ever spent a car is $800. This time, she's thinking of getting something decent. But not too decent - that would cost too much. I think she's set her cap at around $2k or so.
Anyway, knowing full well that a four door with seating for five is more her style, I went 240 hunting anyway. Ya know, so I could drive around in it. =) Well, I found an '89 with 193k miles on it right in her price range. It needs a fender, seat, and a/c - but she doesn't seem to care much about those things at all; you should see what she's driving now!
So, without any further adu, my question: What's a 240 like after it's odometer passes its second century? I sold mine before it even made it to 140k. Also, is the '89 XE going to be anything like the '91 SE I can't seem to "shuttup about .. ever"?
Thanks. Oh, and if you stumble upon a similar car, back off! Well, unless you plan on letting me ride around in it as much as she does. Didn't think so. =)
