Question c320 wagon vs c240 wagon

Still attemping to get an used C wagon instead of new XC90/XC70 and debating a C240 or C320 wagon.

Is MY2003 the last year C320 wagon made the US?

What are the extras in a C320 wagon over a C240 wagon, besides the engine?

How much was the difference of market price back then (thought maybe more discount on C320)

How much $ difference in your opinion is it worthwhile to get a C320 wagon over a C240 wagon. My target is <30k miles and <$32k, otherwise I will get a brand new XC.

Many TIA.

yes, 2003 was the last year for the 320 wagon. The 320 came standard with power driver and passenger seats, digital climate control and the upgraded Bose Sound system. Under 30k miles and under $32k is definitely possible, there's an '02 320 wagon on ebay with 23k miles for only $21,900 here . Also a brand new '05 C240 4matic wagon for $34900, definitely some good deals. My aunt got an '05 XC70 wagon and it's a very nice car and the turbocharged 5 has lots of torque, but it doesn't ride or drive as solid as the C wagon. You could probably get a new C240 wagon for the same price as a new XC, you should shop around a bit before going for a used one, you could get a good price.

Thanks, akbro93704! I am interested in MY 03/04 mainly because that cars under the 2 MYs still have the full maintence and (I hope at least) most of major bugs from 01/02 initial launch have been worked out. My preference would be 320 but it availability would be limited. If I go for 05 and newer, I may be better off to get a new ones unless the price for an used one is really appealing.

Thanks again.
