    3rd seat has never been sat in!? In 22 years!? I sit in mine every chance I get!

    Looks nice but are they asking a bit much?

    It looks like it's in pretty nice shape. I've been kind of looking for another wagon lately and most of the cheaper ones I've seen (even in the $2500 range) have some or all of rust issues, ratty interiors, oxidized paint, etc.

    Cheers,

    Wow, I had no idea what these cars actually go for. I just bought a rust free '87 with 83K on it for $1000. She was asking $1500. so I thought I got a pretty good deal.
    According to this one I stole mine!!

    Don't discount the box, they are more aerodynamic then you think.

    Watching racing one day on espn and they feature a guy in a 83 Camaro with over 2000HP talking about how he can't break 200MHP cause its like a flying brick. Where guys with boxy car could break 200MPH with less power and they show that as he raced a guy in a box caprice.

    It was quiet a learning experience.

    That is a nice looker Ian, the seller has a few ads for it including one with the rear seat pic. I won't post it myself because I personally don't like sellers who multi advertize there car in the same place but none the less it sure does sound like a nice wagon for a fair price.


    I also searched your link for wagons.....WOW, you have some nice wagons for sale in your/that general erea:wave:
