What would you get?

I have an 88 245, and mechanically it's awesome, but the interior is pretty much trashed. I wouldn't mind having a second car (especially if this one is in the shop, as I'm using it to commute). This one is a road veteran, currently having a cracked windshield, an unreliable wiper motor and makes a screeching noise when I accelerate from a dead stop (screeching goes away after a few moments). The passenger side door is broken, the passenger seat belt doesn't work either. Nothing major, but a lot of little issues that need to be addressed.

I've only had 245 Volvo wagons for the last 20 years so I can't even imagine owning another car. But just for fun I'm exploring the world outside the 245.
Criteria:
I like: reliable, simple - mine is a low maintenance vehicle. I'd love to find a well-maintained later model (92?) 245 with leather interior, but that may be a pipe dream.

I live in a high car-theft city, and high car-theft neighborhood, so I'm looking towards things that are either hard to steal, or for whatever reason not preferred by car thiefs (no Subarus, they seem to constantly get stolen around here).

Thinking used BMW/Mercedes - I've heard there are a couple series that are not super pricey to fix, and can be found for sub 10K. I like that the Volvo was a 'luxury' car so it made me think about other luxury carmakers in considering another vehicle. Other than that I'm at a loss.

Any suggestions! Thanks, Susan
