    Certainly looks clean.....
    I've seen ads from this guy before. Seems to like wagons.

    Is it me, or do those pics look a bit 'off' - like the blue is a bit too bright, and the 'wood' a bit too yellow?

    This seller in Lakeland, Florida seems to have most of his photos set with the wrong colors. In this case too much yellow. I've grabbed a few of his photos and had to tweak them back to normal with my photoshop program.


    here is a version with less yellow.

    Yes, it's just a little tooo blue, I've had that happen a couple times taking pics of my lite/medium blue 83....strange background sunlite etc..??

    It is a dam sharp looking car thats for sure. I only spotted 2 things...

    ...Driver door and front passenger door strap missing the cover clips that hide the screws and looking into the cargo erea it's clear the rear seat is splitting on the back seam.


    passenger door...

    Rear seat splitting at back....handle and lock for third seat era needs some adjustment also

    Sorry to bring this up again, but it is actually a really "blue" blue. :) I had a '89 Safari as some may recall that was identical to this one, even the same color. The only difference was mine being an '89, it had the rear shoulder belts. I could not even sell it for $700. Ended up trading it for a '89 BMW 325i and sold it for close to $2000. lol. I miss that wagon, it had not been driven in years and the guy that bought it just took off in it and he lived 50 miles away! I never heard from him again.

    I hope he didn't derby it. He said he wanted a more comfortable car, but I didn't really buy it. I hope that was the case.

    Here is a pic of mine a few months before I sold it... the woodgrain was getting bad in spots. The interior was super nice other than the headliner.

    Here was the pic I seen on the ad when I bought the car in summer of 2001. It was actually on the OLD stationwagon.com website back in 2001!

    and here was the car before I sold it, I guess this was in 2009...
