I need a reliable, cheap to run station wagon.
My budget is only $5000
What make/ models/ years would you recommend?

Hi there,
Some picks in this category could be, Toyota corolla/ fielder, Subaru legacy, Honda Accord, and Nissan Wingroad.
These look to be around 2000-2005 model year, however the newer the car the higher the km's on the clock might be.
Trade me has quite a few listings. https://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/CategoryAttributeSearchResults.aspx?search=1&cid=268&sidebar=1&5=Station+Wagon&14=&18=4000&18=5000&24=2000&24=2005&54=&searchRegion=100&sidebarSearch_keypresses=0&sidebarSearch_suggested=0
