Buy a Subaru Imprezza Wagon.  All wheel drive and the back seats fold down
to allow you to slip an action in without any trouble.  Bought one in 1999
for $16,500.

I need to buy a service vehicle. I spend half my time making service calls
to homes, churches, etc. My service area seems to be a circle about 20 miles
in diameter. I am looking for recommendations. What vehicle do you use, and
why do you think it is a good vehicle for piano servicing?

I had been using a mid-sized sedan. I could put a grand action in the trunk
or on the back seat. That seems to be my basic criteria - I need to carry my
tools and also be able to place an action into the vehicle.

My new vehicle will likely be one made in the past ten years - I am
considering new or used.

No Suburban Assault Vehicles (SUVs). I hate vans - YUK! Seems to me I either
go with a small/mid-sized wagon or get a tank (Lincoln Town Car, Crown
Victoria LTD, etc.). I definately want a car.

Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

If the roads were not so darn crowded, I would ride my bike - like Antares!
