Agreed

Whatever you buy , any car, you must accept it needs work every year.

A lot of people I know will buy a car for around the 1K mark then moan when it needs mot work. I try and remind them that they could have took out finance at £200 a month for years and that spending money on an old motor is a better option, and even if it is more hassle is a damn sight cheaper than buying newer. Doing the work yourself is where the real savings start, not to mention the feeling of satisfaction gained.

IMO with 240s bodywork and general condition (interior too) is as important if not more so than milage and paper history as all you'll do all the routine stuff eventually on it anyhow
