Station Wagon for $20-25k? >

I am considering four station wagons that seem to be available for this price range: Ford Taurus (new,) Mercedes E320 (1995, with 60-80k miles), Saab 9-5 (1999 with 50k miles) or Audi A6 Avant (1999 with about 50k miles). 90% very local driving in suburbs near Boston with occasional ski trip or long vacation with three kids 10-16 years old and a German Shepherd Dog. Driveway is quite steep and hard to get up in snowy weather. I have ruled out Volvo V70 for quality problems (unfairly?). Need reliability above all else - my current Mercedes 300TE with 220,000 miles is costing $390/month in depreciation and maintenance and I hope to do better than that. Ideas?
