260*, even 240*, is too high. Your car should run around 190-200* on the road and maybe 220-225 in stop and go traffic.
Check to see if you have a lot if debris in the radiator area and if not, you will have to check other possibilities like stuck thermostat, bad water pump, collapsed hose, clogged radiator, etc.

Clean the radiator, these cars are bottom breathers, just last week there was a similar thread.
