One of the fun facts of Craigslist is that there’s always a Volvo in your price range, unfortunately, ones at this end of the price spectrum tend to be… what’s the phrase? Sub-prime? Well-loved? Shit?

So, the colloquialism is that life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what’s inside. Continuing this analogy, a $2000 Volvo could be described thusly: instead of a box of chocolate, you’ve actually been given a box of assorted animal droppings, but there may be a piece of chocolate in there? It is uncertain, you may have to sort through the box to find it.

Also, they’re a bit like a hearse.

So, a Volvo wagon this cheap is basically perfect for someone who decorates their house with stuff they find on craigslist. 

You can also possibly live out of a volvo station wagon. In this case, your entire house is from craigslist. Good job!
