The local used Euro car joint has a couple sweet wagons. High miles, but this would be a blast. A V70R with a 6-speed.  e: one more.. an '01 525i Touring with the 5-speed.  They've got some other pretty awesome Germans and Swedes. http://www.starmotors.us/browse.php angryhampster fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Nov 14, 2012 |

angryrobots posted:I miss my lolvo wagons. WTF? An '04 is on sale near me for less than $10. Higher miles but that's just ridiculous. http://whitedogimports.com/vehicle/2004-Volvo-V70/93686/ e: to the questions that will inevitably coming: Yes I have gone and looked at it in person.  I went there on a Saturday and no one was at the shop, otherwise I would've test driven it. How are these cars for reliability? Expensive to maintain?

Oxphocker posted:Less than 100k miles? If it mechanically checks out I'd jump on it. It's manual too...bet it rocks. The interior was only in fair condition was the reason why I haven't gotten too excited about it. My last car had a few rough spots on the interior that constantly pissed me off. Also am enjoying spending my money on other things right now..first time without a car payment in 3-4 years.

zundfolge posted:I'd avoid that car. The headlights and front bumper are from an S60, so it's probably been in an accident. Hard to say whether it was a salvage car that they decided to flip on the cheap or an oversight on the part of whoever repaired it, but either way it would make me worry about how the rest of the car was kept up. Interesting. Seems like a strange history given this dealer. They are very well-respected in the area for used Subarus, and used wagons of any type.

SyHopeful posted:Has anybody here owned a late-model V70R? I've heard they have their own special "M-tax" on them, but gat dayum if they aren't the hotness. I looked into it when I found a used one locally for $9000. Apparently the engines are reliable, but suspension components are obscenely expensive to repair and replace. $2000 for a set of 4 shocks expensive. e: still for sale: http://whitedogimports.com/vehicle/2004-Volvo-V70/93686/

angryhampster may be in the market for a wagon this year. We've got a kid on the way this summer, and our 2-door Focus will probably be a tremendous pain in the butt to use a baby seat with. The Focus is an '08 with 120k miles on it..can probably sell outright for $4-5k easily. I don't want to spend much more than that on a car. Obviously this limits my options and the 'new' wagon will have between 120-200k mi to fit in our price range. Secondary vehicle so MPG isn't a huge concern. Wife requires auto trans. What I'm considering: 1. BMW 5xx t (e39) ..my favorite BMW body. 6 and 8 cyl options both pretty reliable aside from cooling system. What are the other potential issues? 2. Subaru Forester/Impreza. I know nothing about them other than they need headgaskets and timing sets before 120k. 3. Volvo V70/XC70. I know nothing about these other thing I love the way they look. This is what I'm considering, but open to other suggestions as well. Would also consider a 5-door hatchback but prefer wagon space. Of these options..which one would be the least of a nightmare?
