volvo 740 turbo wagon gets 25-30 mpg highway and has room for like 8 people

prices for volvo 240/740/940/850 etc is usually pretty affordable, low end is around a thousand dollars up to around 6 or 8k for a really nice one with most being around 1500-3000$

Dude I'm pretty friggin excited!

I just bought my first car on ebay and am going to pick it up in Ohio next week. Road trip! It's a pretty sweet car too. $860 for a car that gets 50mpg ain't bad

'84 diesel VW Rabbit FTW. I'll make a new topic for it after I get it.

thank ya! i love it too, will probably get it insured and start driving it as soon as i get a job

in the 2+ or so years that ive owned it ive got to drive it two months >.< it was safe and drivable at the end of the first year but because of insurance and stuff ive been unable to drive it. its really really expensive (close to 800$ a year by itsself if i recall correctly)plus not so great gas milage lol

Just got a 2001 Toyota Corolla. I like it a lot! Dependable, easy on gas, and it handles pretty well. There's a slot in the dash big enough for a PS1 screen... hmm...

Before our crazy crash, we had a Pontiac 6000 S/E Stationwagon. It was a decent wagon; around 31 MPG.

Here's a tiny picture:

I'm pretty stoked! I just bought my first car today! Here's a picture:

It's a 1989 Honda CRX Si. You can see some more pictures and read about it here.

Here's my car. My mom's going to give it to me (maybe) either this or the Lincoln. Now before you all think that I shouldn't drive it because it's too nice here's the list of problems.
No air
No AM
No cruise control (don't really need it except for traveling)
Bad ball bearing leading to a janky ride
200,000 miles on it (not really a con, but a lot none the less)
Deer hit the driver side panel and it beat it up.

Oh well, still a damn nice ride.

BUMP! lol, here are the pics of my new ride! a wonderful 1990 volvo 740 turbo wagon that i got for the tidy sum of 850$ (plus tax title insurance etc)

PICTURES!

Volvo station wagons... I don't know if it's even possible to kill those things.

Good find! You people in the Midwest can get a lot more out of your cars. Up here there's still a bunch of those wagons around, but you'd be hard pressed to find one that's even half as kept up as yours is. Looks like all you really need to do is give it a good wash, wax, and vacuum. I assume the Olds is back into semi-retirement?

Yep triton nice ride. I know that wagon has gas mileage than the olds. How much did that wagon set you back?

1992 Honda Accord LX, 230k miles, 5speed manual. This car can get going. Currently replacing the CV axles on it (clunking noise while turning). Also just replaced the blower fan and recharged the AC with r134a.

I photoshopped out some damage that I've fixed since the picture was taken.

the olds is in storage till summertime for cruisin and whatnot, gets by my best guess 12mpg or less, the volvo (which cost me 850$ plus tax title etc) gets between 24 and 28mpg! i really like it and it only needs a very little ammount of work
