Model Struggle.
Hello everyone! I'm about to turn 16 in a week and a half and need to buy a car. I'm a huge fan of Swedish cars, specifically Volvo more than SAAB. Anyway, I am having troubles on which model I should consider. My budget is $5,000-$6,000. I want it to be reliable, which most are, but some more than others. I know the 240 is ideal but I plan to go to college in Missouri...meaning I will need an A/C that produces cold air. Our 244's A/C isn't the greatest so I'm looking for one that actually has good, cold air coming out. We had a 1996 854 Turbo and I loved that A/C. I also want something that has adequate power to pass when needed and other things that happen when driving. With that, I want at least 20 mpg in the city. Though, if necessary, I'm willing to go to 18-19. I value safety as well, which is why I will gladly spend some more on gas than go buy a substandard rice box. I also prefer it to be a true Volvo (before Ford ownership.) But, I don't want it to be too old to take it to MO. So basically, I want it to be reliable, good looking, with adequate power, a good A/C, ok mpg, and it to be decent to take to MO when I graduate. Thank you fellow Volvo enthusiasts :)
