$14K is not that much money, besides, a newer wagon means more insurance and property tax every year, plus the sales tax when you buy it.

Your 1995 is a known commodity, a used wagon is not. You will not get much for the 1995 at sale time, and a 'good' V70 - think - 2003/4 is already old. Your wagon might need a new timing belt/water pump soon, plus a muffler, struts, control arms, rear hatch struts, etc. If you farm out the labor/parts, that could be close to $2K. Throw in some new tires and PVC plumbing and you are up to $3K. That still leaves you with $11K to put under your pillow.

Or you could spend it all on this:

Knowing that in 15K miles you will need a new timing belt, etc.
