Introduction
There was a time when station wagons were a perfectly acceptable form of transportation for families and empty nesters alike. But then Americans decided en-masse that the wagon was uncool, instead opting for gas-guzzling crossovers and sport utility vehicles. Too bad, because wagons drive more like cars and they typically have better fuel economy than SUVs. But while most automakers don't offer many wagons here in the U.S., you can still find plenty of reasonably new samples on the used car market. We scoped out 10 top used wagons under $15,000 and we have a feeling that you'll like what we've found.

Selling Points: The A4 Avant is a dream wagon. It drives like a sports sedan and yet it has plenty of room for you and your stuff. Plus, it’s all-wheel-drive system can tackle inclement weather like an SUV.
