    Estate. You can store a small village in the boot. And it looks like a brick, exactly how a Volvo has to look. :D

    You dont think into it, and you instead get whatever you can get.

    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)

    Why do you need people to tell you what first car to get? Get whatever you want that's affordable.

    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.

    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.
