| Should I Buy A Station Wagon?
Howdy, here's the backstory:
I have a Mercedes C36. My mother owns a Chrysler Town and Country and a New Beetle. I've been trying to sell the C36 for awhile. My mom only drives her New Beetle, but she's starting up a small business where she'll need to drive around small amounts of decorations. So she needs access to a vehicle with moderate cargo space. Also, I need a vehicle that can transport a drumset.
Of course, the most practical solution is to sell the C36 and then I drive the Town and Country for the most part except when my mom needs it. But let's be real: I am not driving a minivan as my main car.
Im thinking that if I am able to sell the C36 and the Town and Country, I buy something like a station wagon... something inbetween.
Is that sound logic? And if so, what're some good station wagons to look into? The only ones that seem to exist are Volvos and Outbacks.

thanks for the advice.
I'm definitely thinking used. I'm hoping to sell the Merc to recoup money. I guess my budget is however much I can sell the Town and Country for. It's an 04 I think, and it's got the DVD player and the works.

Do it! Wagons are look great, are utilitarian, and handle WAAAAAYYYY better than SUV's. My choices would be either be a Subaru Legacy Wagon or an Audi A4 Avant. A6 Avant if I could afford it.
Happy hunting!

Volvo XC/V70
Passat Wagon
Practical sleepers that will easily handle a drumset (I've tried) both with pretty decent power turbo engines
No interest in Rav4/CRV?

I think I know who you are. 
My suggestion? Volvo wagon. Reliable, comfortable, safe as heck. You can get a 850 T5R wagon and still smoke ricers from the stoplight.
Otherwise, Mazda6 wagon?
EDIT: Oooh, what about a Saab 9-3 SportCombi? It's a pretty unique car. http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/va...036789708.html http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/va...036546937.html http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/va...984045080.html
