Opinions Please! betw '87 740 Turbo & '90 240 DL
Help! What a choice! 
Today or tomorrow I must choose which one to buy:
An '87 740 Turbo Wagon with 155K as family car same owner since '96. . . .
OR . . .
a 1990 240 DL with 122K and new tranny, original owner, kept in garage rarely driven in six years.
Both from long term owners with all documentation of maintanence by good mechanics, no dents, running and looking nice, and same price range ($1,900 is good for S.F. Bay Area).
My last Volvo was a '72 145 Estate wagon--loved it--but I need in priority: reliable and economical; driving 80 fwy miles per day in Calif. mountains; enjoyable and less maint probs; trustworthy yet fun; roomy and practical. Teacher can't be late!
I can't wait to get my new ride--but gotta choose between two good choices NOW!
Comments? Thanks!!!
