Volvo 240 last as long or longer then Mercedes Benz 300d? 200

I knew I was opening up a can of worms when I made my declaration...there are sure a bunch of variables, most of which we don't have much control over. I think previous maintenance history is important, but does it weigh in as much as a car that came from a section of the country that heavily salts the roads? I don't know. I do know that Benz has had some awful cars (350 sd and sdl) and some great cars, (190 and 300d, for instance). I like the relative affordability (term loosely applied) of Volvo parts, especially used Volvo parts, especially when compared to full freight dealership Benz prices! I'll stick with my 1986 300SDL until it eats me out of house and home, (which it hasn't yet) and enjoy all the comfort and room and 27mpg, too. I'll also keep my other 2 245s, a 220, a 130, and maybe the 850T because they are fun cars to have, for different reasons. Long live both brands, although I fear that both have suffered build quality issues over the last decade or so.
