I am 28 and I have had my 1993 SE couple for nearly 6 years, putting 70k on it as a daily driver. It now has 198k on it and is still trucking (no KA pun intended!), as recently as today finding out I need to replace the fan clutch.
I've done all kinds of upkeep to it myself and I still love it to this day and haven't modded it at all. I bought it with that intent but I've had other priorities (6 year old kid, ironic I've had the car 6 years as well!) The project begins this year however and I've already got some toys enroute and I'm very excited, I see the addiction kicking in the more stuff I order.
I have looked at luxury cars and other options but I still love the 240. I may end up getting a early 2000's Accord or Camry for those terrible winter days but I want to drive my 240 as much as possible, its a beast in the winter with a couple sand bags. =)
EDIT: Wanted to add like some of the older guys here, I can swing a car payment no problem, but I've never had one and don't want one. Big fan of surplus and 401k dumping over here! I looked at buying a newer car then thought about the depreciation, especially on a newer one where I drive off the lot and watch 10k float out drift into the atmosphere.
