the 850's are also reliable, but stay away from the '93 (first year of prod.) I've been told they have transmission problems.
I too would recommend a Volvo. My 940 Turbo was still running very fast when i sold it with 150,000. BTW, the 240, 740 and 940 are pretty much the same, but the 240's mostly used the B21 2.1 liter, the 740's used the 23 and the 940's used the B230 2.3 liter. slightly different. Having had both a 2.1 turbo and a 2.3 I'd take the 230 any day!
