I don't think that a (in my case) 24 year old imported car is the right choice for every one out there. But it is for me, and for the follwing reasons: I can keep it running 28,000 mi./yr pretty much by myself. It wont't be worth any less money with 300k on the odometer than 250k. When it breaks catastrophically, I'll give it a hug, pull the jewelry off of it, and go find another to enjoy and upgrade. I like the way they drive when everything is in good shape, they don't drink a ton of fuel doing it, and they are pretty low profile to most of the law enforcement folks out there. Those last three resons are good enough for me! If you had to hire a mechanic to keep your 240 in good shape for you, it may not make sense, but I like doing 95% of the work myself.
