Well, I just inherited $14,000. I have a 1995 850 wagon that I have nursed since birth...188,000. It will only be a short time before it asks for more repairs ($$$). Thus, I think it best to put it out to pasture and start again with a 'newer' vehicle. At age 60, I do not want a new vehicle, as I don't have extra cash to spend, over the $14K. I have better things to do with my money (retirement?).
I need a wagon. My 850 gets about 20mpg, and I would love to see more. So, do I change to another auto maker? Do I just 'upgrade' into a newer Volvo? If Volvo? What is my best choice for a wagon, given the $14K here in NY? My other consideration was Subaru...but I find it hard to make that swap. Been driving Volvos since I could drive (144S, 240, P1800, 740, 760, 850, S40)...
