the values of the 240's are not keeping pace with the cost of their repairs and parts 200

When you figure what the 200 cost new, and now mine is nearing the 25th year of dependable service, with no major repairs required, other than the changeover to the R-134A system, it computes to somewhere less than $1000.00 per year of ownership, and when you also consider that the car is still dependable for daily transportation, even for long road trips, then the value of the car has to have reached an appreciation level. While most 25 year old cars are long in the scrapyard, the old trusty 245 just keeps clicking off the miles. I've already figured that in order to replace it with a brand new vehicle with the same features that mine has would cost me in the vicinity of 50 Large, so I'm way ahead of the curve.
