Thanks to everyone who has replied - I tried to post this earlier, but for some reason it disappeared into the ether.
I really appreciate the groundtruthing on repair costs. I think my current car is in the midrange - I seem to have spent at least $1K a year on everything from clutches (4 in 12 years!) to new exhaust systems to axels.
My "budget" might be a little different because of this. If I could get a good safe and solid car for around $7K and not have to put more than $1K per year into it on average, I would be happy. One of the things that attracted me to the 9-5 wagon was the rapid depreciation that made the purchase price doable. But it sounds like annual repairs might quickly outstrip any savings on purchase.
I'd love to hear more, but I'm starting to look at Subarus in the meantime...
