I want to get some sort of daily driver. I have Tundra right now, but spending too much on gas, especially driving by myself 20+ miles to go riding with one bike in the back.
Volvos seem like they can be had relatively cheap and are pretty reliable (maybe not, I dunno). Looking at something I can easily put a hitch on for a two bike rack (already have a 1up USA rack) or possibly a wagon.
I prefer something with a turbo and like to tinker. Manual tranny is preferred. Point me in the right direction with some models and years or let me know if there are other cars that might suit the task. Also considering a WRX, but they always seem pricey or hammered. I figured it would be easier to pick up a Volvo off some middle aged couple that lives its life in the burbs. Budget would be $5Kish, but the cheaper the better to a point. I enjoy doing my own maintenance and anything short of the engine/trans blowing up I can fix myself.
