...but then I step on the gas and hear that 5 cyl growl, look down at the dash, and realize there's no other car I'd want.

I know that “rare” and “vintage” can have many different definitions, but at least here in the USA, I’ve noticed a precipitous drop in the number of listings online for 850s for sale. In 2020 I remember seeing tons for sale, including 900 series cars. Now, lucky to see one or two within 300 miles. Also never seeing one at the junkyard anymore when I need some rarer parts.

Is this indicative of the larger used vehicle market or a sign that a large portion of 850s are off the road due to hitting a critical age now at ~30+ years old.

I’m sure some Swedes will chime in saying they see tons of them but it’s not really fair haha

Mostly thinking of routes with very tight turns. I imagine extending the front of the bus would make some maneuvers difficult and thus they would be bothered if a bike is placed in front. Any drivers here able to chime in on your thoughts about the bike rack? Thanks.

If you couldn’t tell, I’m looking for a wagon. 2018+ for either. Trying to find something comfortable and OK reliable (I don’t expect Toyota but don’t want Mercedes) I love how the V60 looks and is definitely luxury, but would the Buick be a bit step down in comfort? The Regal Tourx tends to sell for a bit cheaper for equivalent MY and mileage. Thoughts on longer term reliability too?
