X2 ^^^^^^^
Very well put.
Ideally you'll find someone who, once you ask a question, you can't get them to shut up on the details. Not a requisite, but a really good sign.

As for the wife... so long as she gets a nice spa day every once in awhile, she doesn't mind the car stuff.

Sounding good on all counts.
Not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but if you have a bit of flexibility to travel to look at cars, that's a huge bonus in the shopping process, doubly so if a forum member has one for sale.
Not many wagons seem to come up on our own 'classifieds' section here, but I could be proven wrong on that 15 minutes from now.
Good luck with it and welcome to the forum.
