What to buy?

Hey guys,
My mom needs a new car (used) and she loves my 850. She wants to spend about $12,000 or maybe a little over and she wants a wagon that gets gas mileage in the mid 20s. What would you recommend?

Thanks,
Chet

12k? You have a lot of options in the way of used Volvos with that kind of money. I would say a V70, and if you can a 98 V70, very similar to your 850 just a little more up to date.
