I'm not active anymore, not enough time, but good while you're looking.

Of course, I'm a Volvo wagon fan too. Ours has been fun and reliable, 
though it's not the highway cruiser you can expect from the 300TD. If 
you like the 300TD wagon, look at the Volvo 240 wagons too. More 
practical than the 122 and a bit more common than the MB. FWIW our '76 
MB 240D was cheap ($2K) and cheap to own too. The newer you buy, the 
more expensive to operate, as with just about any car IMO.
