Whether to Put More Money Into My 240
I have a 92 240gl w/ 215k miles. I did the regular maintenance on it until about 2011 and it has been parked since then. I know it is bad to just let it sit. I recently put a battery in it to see if it would start and it did. My son needs a car for college. I am guessing that getting the car ready for everyday driving, valves, hoses, brakes, etc will cost a bit and it has various odds and ends that need addressing. I am guessing that after all that is addressed, the money required will only be a few thousand shy of getting say a Civic w/ 90-115k miles. The Volvo is likely safer. I am not sure which will end up lasting longer or costing me less in ongoing repairs and maintenance. Anyone have any insights? Thanks in advance.
