Currently driving a 89 240 wagon, 5spd with 210k miles on it. If i had my choice, i'd keep it. Unfortunately, my lill sis is getting her lisence soon, i go to college 9 hours away, and my mom wants a new car. Thus, i get my moms car for use or trade in $$, my lill sis gets my 240, and my mom gets a new car - everyone happy.
I've been reading a lot about other volvo's...my family has owned swedish cars all my life, and i'm hooked on them. I want another stick...i tried driving an auto for a year and when i switched back it just confirmed that i love driving stick.
I'll have about 5-7k to work with..my moms car is an 850glt in nice condition, but its an auto. I'd really like another wagon in a stick...but as far as i can tell, 900 series dosen't come with a stick or is very rare, 800 series is hard to find a stick and is front wheele drive (unfortunately), and the 700 series is getting kinda old...woulnd't be much of an improvement in reliablility for a 9hour drive.
What do you guys recomend looking into for a stick wagon with a 5-7k budget? I've got all summer to look for the most part, but i've kinda narrowed my options down quite a bit. Either way, i'll be getting a volvo wagon...just would like it to be one i want.
