If you like the diy aspects of the 240, why not expand your considerations to something at least similar. The 740's and 940's have the same engine/tranny combo and some report that they are even easier to work. I've never even been in a 940, but I can say I have driven several 760 turbos (still the 4 cylinder but loaded) and I like the way they drive. I have also driven 850's and I prefer the 740/60's, except for the 850R I drove, no station wagon should be able to do that!. I like the handling of all of the above but the seating position is hire on the RWD cars which I like coming from pickups and SUVs. The turning radius on the TWD is significantly tighter. Turning radius is not a big deal to some, but for those of us who miss there turns a fair bit, U-turns are daily occurence. Good luck!
