Estate. You can store a small village in the boot. And it looks like a brick, exactly how a Volvo has to look.
i have i just asked for oppinions for somebody who knows theese things! --- Post updated --- Yeah Exactly!
Basically ignore the sedan versus wagon difference. If theres a better condition 740 sedan, buy that, if theres a better condition wagon then buy that. Or, do things the proper way and dont set your heart on one specific model or even manufacturer for your first car.
Which country are you from? Because in the UK, insurance for a 740 estate was around £12,000 per year for me. (Going to look at getting some form of Ford estate, insurers seem to like those more)
wuuuut thats crazy 0.0. in the netherlands they can have a youngtimer insurance which could be €5,74 a month.
Because some people(like me) are indecisive, have no clue what's reliable and what isn't and aren't used to making any decisions and have had everything decided for them for most of their life(also like me), but considering its a first car the OP probably won't even have a say in what to get and it will also be chosen for him.
Get a (European) Ford like me They never break down, handle like a dream and are not expensive at all
I will see i choosed volvo because the cars are very safe but it will take some time i will see what prices and models come to sale in finland!
why bother with a Volvo anyways what do you like: big engine, lots of space, economic, fast, comfortable, reliable, simple, strong, slow, everything plastic, how luxurious does it have be, what is your budget, what do you parents or friends or family drive/recommend it doenst have to be this difficult you know
I would love to have the 740 estate for the cargo room. Are you going to find one that is turbocharged? Out of curiosity, how much does a Volvo cost in Finland? I imagine there must be a plentiful supply of them!
Old Volvos like mine aren't safe compared to new cars. They're safe compared to other cars of the time they were made.
Yeah, they are common in Finland. 2.0 diesel model costs about 500-1500 euros, and 2.3 liter gas models are a bit more expensive (min. 800 euros) since they have more reliable and powerful engine.
