I'm not a car person, and we havn't had a car for nearly 2 years I don't miss it but the Mrs is getting a bit bored getting buses/walking/trains with the kids etc
BUT...we are not a rich family.
I thought we would just get something small for local trips etc but no....the boss has always driven big cars and wants a big car. Fair enough...its not for me.
Heres the problem. Budget....considerably below £1000...£500/£600 would be good.
She has been looking at old Mercedes Estates like this for example

I have been looking at old Volvos.
Fuel consumption isn't really a problem as we won't cover many miles.
Reliability in the face of poor maintainence is a must.
You know what I mean...a strong old horse that will take a bit of punishment.
Whatcha reckon....anything come to mind?
Any experiences...are you in the trade and know of a modelthat just keeps on going regardless...or ones to avoid?
Much appreciated.
