i don't know if this is any good, but you weirdos sure seem to like the foreign stuff :P.
Weirdos? Maybe. Is it weird to love a 37 year old glacially slow French wagon because it has a manual transmission, gets 40mpg and can haul a family of five plus two golden retrievers? Sure. Will it still be driving around the streets of the People's Republic of California long after you and your entire family are worm food? Probably. Is that good? YES! So act now and pick up this
1976 Peugeot 504 Diesel Wagon offered for $2,500 in Riverside, CA via craigslist.
On paper, a rear-wheel drive diesel Volvo wagon with a 5-speed sounds like an ideal formula for a daily hauler. But "even communism works on paper," as any smug Huffington Post reader will tell you. The problem wasn't necessarily the slower-than-walking D24 diesel engine or its 75-horsepower output, but the 3,200-lb weight they were saddled with. Both problems have been fixed in this lightened, stiffened, turbocharged wagon that redefines what a daily driver vehicle should offer. Find this 1985 Volvo 760 wagon with turbo-diesel swap in San Antonio, TX for $2,950 via craigslist.
