Re: what to look for in a used volvo??? ALL

We have a 244 and a 745 and 3 kids can sit in the back seat of both cars. The problem is the car seats, it is almost impossible in any car to put 3 across. So you need a third row seat, i.e. Minivan or Volvo wagon with 3rd seat. Our wagon has the 3rd seat and it does give us more room when needed. If you want to keep your current wagon, check the auctions on Ebay. I have seen 3rd seats there for reasonable sums and I belive that you can retrofit any wagon. Reliabilty of the 244 and 745 seem to be about the same, the drivetrain is very similar if you stay with a standard 4 cyl (230) engine.
