1)if you are looking for a long term car and all is as you say the 626 is a fine car and it looks pretty decent
2)the rodeos are durable sob's! but if you think the guy may be hiding something concerning the condition of the vehicle then i would pass unless you feel like finding it and fixing it if it is no big deal
3)if you have found an 84ish toyo pickup in excellent shape, it will last you a long time. my dad just got rid of one that he beat it to hell and back again. he got it with 150,000 miles on a sick engine and drove it another hundred thousand while the engine just barely clung to life.
4)there is definitely something to be said about those old volvos. just about the safest thing on four wheels. if it is in good shape and you want a cheap beater car then go for it.
overall i say the volvo for the beater or the 626 if you want a decent looking car to drive while your tour is in recovery
just my opinion
