Should be as good as a small SUV for bass.

Those are good reliable cars.

i was looking for a car with good mpg that can be quite fast but also suv's with nice space in the back.. its a 2 in 1

with some compromise that is. Id have to drop some engine mods in for sure and maybe a rebuild.

Volvo wagons are hot. Drop it, tint it, add some wheels.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

You have no idea or basis in truth of what you speak so shut it. There are tons of suppliers out there for parts.

Also the roofs on Volvos are extremely rigid compared to asian and american shit boxes. My single 15 broke the spot welds on my boy's civic hatch roof lol.

i can see where your coming from and certain models do not have as many readily available parts such as my 940 that i previously owned.

Although there are a variety of site and places in my area that offer parts for the newer volvos especially the 850 series. So maybe back when u were a kid it was hard to find parts but the case is differant now.

For $3,200 i dont think its that bad of a deal.
