Best wagon for $35000-$40000

Audi Q7 or Q5 ?

if you know some people, you can get a nice clean title in that price range (US vehicle).

i find the bmw and benz just looks hella funny as wagons, but some ppl like it.
volvo is also known for making wagons but not too into their styling, kinda boring imo.

is 40k the limit? just remember you have to pay hst, and on a 40k car its around 5gs.
personally, i'd go for a 09/10 a4 avant. might b able to find a slightly used one for just over 40, otherwise a3 is a great choice too.

Im just trying to get all the info I can, since I prefer to drive cars from the late 80's early 90's I don't know enough about the new stuff to give an informed opinion...

pre-owned bmw 328xi wagon.
decent on gas, warranty covers maintenance. if she wants to get rid of the jetta, a bmw will make her happy.

Theres a EDM C-Class (or is it an E-Class?) running around Richmond, if she REALLY wants fancy then get one imported from Europe.


Actually,
how about the Mercedes Benz R-Class? Sure its kinda hideous but its what shes asking for, right?
+ its "benz" /cue sarcastic clapping

edit* cool truck

You should remind him that wagons are stupid, he'll thank you afterwards.

Yes to the CTS wagon. A4 wagon also looks good. Other wagons just look awkward, like they were afterthoughts (ex. 3 series wagon)
