Sounds like you have some good skills, wrench wise, I would go for the 240 because it will be easy for you and your kid to work on. Personely I dont want to work on electric windows, climate control, SLS, automatic trannys OR pay someone else too.... Whats left is mostly within my skill range plus I really enjoy driving a manual. Some wives want an auto tranny and power windows, mine prefers the manual also, maybe I'm lucky
