240's are slowly gaining 'classic' status. There used to be swarms of them driving around in great condition, but one by one, they are either getting miles piled on them, or cosmetically trashed (or both), and the remaining supply of low mileage cherry condition cars is drying up. And there's apparently a decent crowd of people who would like to buy a brand new 240 at the dealership for $35K, but can't, so as the next best thing they'll spend money on the lowest mileage, cleanest 240 they can find.

It's not worth it to *me* personally, because I like to drive my cars, so buying one where half the value is the incredibly low ODO reading is pointless, that would be gone in a couple of years.

I have seen a few 240's sell for around the $10K mark before. Another very low mileage (can't recall the figure exactly) '93 Classic sedan in mint condition, for around $9K. An '83 flathood that sat in a dealer showroom (or the dealer's owner's garage?) most of the time and had < 10K miles for something over $10K (even with an auto trans), and from the same dealer/situation, a Bertone with under 10K miles and in spotless condition.

You really have to step back from the large supply of higher mileage 240's out there, and try to think of it as an alternative to a new car. What sort of new car can you get for $10k? A Kia Rio?
