Boxy but they're good

Back in the day, Robb saw that the Volvo wagon was THE used car to get and lasted a super long time.  

Remember the movie Crazy People! LOL!  We quoted from it all the time.

So even before we were ready to purchase another car, he did all the research.  

He and I did a road trip several hours away to test drive one.  It had a wasp's nest inside it and was really run down inside.  We ended up passing on the test drive. :\ 

Another time, we finally got a test drive in one, again, a couple hours away and it looked good inside and out.  And wouldn't you just know it?  It felt super uncomfortable for him to drive.  The seat just hit his back and butt wrong.

All the research just doesn't pay if you don't even know if you're going to like the feel of the driver's seat!

Anyway, we're looking to add to our fleet!  Jen found this model on Marketplace and while I was waiting for the owner to get back to me on the size of motor and gas milage question, I googled the gas milage for that style of car.  

Google says 22 as a max, which is not terrible.  My minivan ranges from 18 - 24 depending on if I'm letting it warm up on a cold day or driving on the interstate. 

But the owner got back and said 24.  Not sure if she's lying or what.  I guess we'll know more when we try it out.  Probably not until next week.

Wish us luck!
