HI all, I'm shopping for a wagon. Would prefer getting a Camry wagon (92-96) but they are quite scarce around here. Found a 90 240 wagon being sold by a dealer who picked it up at an auction. Just over 100,000 kms! Body was rust-proofed so is quite good, no major rust showing anywhere. Interior is quite clean (dash is cracked in two places). The driver's seat doesn't feel very comfortable, maybe I'm not used to Volvo seats (feels like it's caving in or something). Drives well. ANyway, the dealer would sell it for $5500 cdn and I'm wondering if that's a reasonable price for a car with this low mileage. No A/C unfortunately. Power windows and door locks work, and it seems to have heated seats. How reliable would this car be? I need a commuting and general all-around car, and like the flexibility of a wagon. I am handy and can do a lot of repairs myself, with a good manual. Thoughts? Anything I should look for in the 240 wagon? Oh, on the dash there is a row of indicator lights with symbols, and the rightmost one (an arrow) is lit. Not sure what it means... THanks, --Robert
