Nice score on the new wagon Baz!
I think you will like some of the mod cons that come with the newer model, better safety and driving features.
The mods Ive made to my Jetta sportwagen are additions for camping, nice inflatable air mattress, screens for a couple of Windows, and a small tent for the back.
Once I feel more comfortable being out traveling for fun it should be a good setup.
Lots of nice Volvo wagons out there when I was shopping, you found a nice one.
