Wagons for Sale

The Volvo V70 turbo station wagon is a reliable, sturdy car overall. It gets good gas mileage for a car of its size and handles well. There's plenty of space for storing and transporting things in the back, as well as a roof rack that I've used a few times. Since it is a foreign car some parts are more expensive when repairs are needed. I did have an issue with the fuel pressure sensor, which was apparently defective in most Volvo V70's made during this era. The sensor performed intermittently before I finally replaced it.

I drive a Ford Taurus wagon. I purchased the car to fit my growing sons, they are all over 6 feet tall and need lots of leg room. The Taurus has great leg room and a wide interior to accommodate people and cargo. The second seat back is divided into two sections so the car can be modified to hold various sized cargo. The ride of the car is very smooth and, as far as performance goes, is exceptional. The only major part that I have had to replace is the transmission which for a 12 year old car makes it very dependable and economic.

I have the 2002 Jetta wagon with the 2.0L engine. It has nearly 240,000 miles on it! That should tell you a lot about the reliability and lifespan right there. I love the open wagon space in the back with the privacy roller. I use that area for storing groceries during errands, because it keeps the sun off the food. We have replaced the tranny once (a weak spot on the older Jetta's), but otherwise, it has been really a great car.
