I'm in the early stages of searching for a newer wagon to replace my 2000 Mecrury Sable LS Premium wagon. My Sable has plenty of life in it, but I'm getting the itch to move onto something else. I still want a wagon just because it gives me cargo hauling functionality between my wife's Camry and my Titan. I really like the Cadillac CTS wagon, but it's out of my price range and a bit small in the "wagon" department.

I've recently seen a V70R wagon in my area a few times, and it got me thinking about a Volvo wagon. Yes, I'd love a V70R. But, I'm in a lower potential hassle and cost phase right now. After some online exploration, I think I've settled on looking for a 2005 V70 T5. It seems to have the best balance between power and practicality. A 2004 is an option. I really don't want to go much older than that. Looks like 2004-2005 T5s are pretty rare. I see lots of 2001 T5s. If a T5 doesn't pan out, a 2006-2007 2.5T would be my next choice.

I'll post my questions in the V70 portion of the forum. Thanks!
