Thanks for all of the insight!! - both serious & not so serious. Because of my location and small MB marketplace, I guess I can't really pick and choose like a lot of you out there in the U.S. (you lucky buggers!!! ) I'll just see what I can find here in PEI. After all, a slow 240d is far better than owning a Chevette, Cavaliar or even a Hyundai any day. Although I did hear out here that Chevettes have been known to make great septic tanks?!?!
