Hello!
Maybe you're wondering why ParalakeFM is taking so long. Well, my ol'shitbox has been having some issues and I've been working my ass off saving for a new vehicle. My current whip is 27 years old and economically not viable to repair. It runs, but it leaks like my 80 year old granddad and has the fuel efficiency of a Dodge RAM right now. It will not pass this year's MOT. I do not trust car dealerships for advice., therefore i come to the Perpheads community! Dont cry though, the mustard colored bastard will be turned into a rally car.
What i seek in a future vehicle:
So far i am considering:
- The volvo V70 T6 (2010-2012 models / XC70 models, love them but for my budget i do get the more worn down ones.
- Audi A4 Avant
Budget is around 10-15K, but i can raise it slightly if there's a solid reason. Currently hovering on the Volvo but I'd love to hear suggestions!
Help me and paralakeFM will launch sooner

What i seek in a future vehicle:
- Station wagon(Or estate for you teasippers) I really like the large space they offer but i don't want a pedestrian murdering large SUV. Something in between, like the Volvo XC70 is fine.
- Powerful. AWD I'd like at least a 2.5L engine, 250BHP+. I'll be towing trailers and caravans through hilly Europe. I also like to go fast. 5 or 6 cilinder preferred.
- Decent options like heated seats. Basic infotainment is fine but i do like a screen with satnav. Basic driver assists like radar cruise control are also nice but not a requirement.
- I have always driven a manual. I do not mind an automatic transmission but i require it to either be very fast or have a manual mode on it.
- I don't care much about maintenance costs. I do vehicle maintenance myself. Should still be reasonable ofcourse
- i prefer a fun car over an economical car.
