I am kinda in the same boat. I have wanted a 240 for a while now especially since one of my friends has one with an SR in it.
The only thing that was holding me back was the fact that I had a lot of money tied up in my cavalier, but now that I have sold almost everything off of it, I am within $150 of having enough to buy a 1990 240 Fastback off of a friend of mine. I has approximately half a bajillion miles on it, but the brakes are good, the engine is solid and it drives like a wet dream.
Hopefully it will only be another two or three weeks before I get it.
BTW, I am only paying $1k for it
