Hi all;

I guess the the V90 is no longer made, so whats the best, say two old,
Volvo esate?

I suppose its going to be one of the V70 models!!

I am very happy with my 1998 V70.  After 200K it still has the original
battery and full exhaust system.  No work needed on engine or trans.
yet, just usual brakes, front end and water pump wear out.  On the
negative side parts cost an arm and a leg of course.

Yep. V70 or XC70 if you want a bit more ruggedness.

What does the 'r' stand for?

"r" = performance (volvo's state of the art...for
that year)

"r" = extra $$

"r" = snap your head back accelleration.....

Your only choice now is the V70 or the much smaller V50.  Of the two,
the V70 is the superior vehicle.   They depreciate rapidly, so buying a
2-3 year old one is a good idea.  Insist on a full maint. history
showing that everything has been done by the book or better.
