Hi. Newbie here. Purchased a 1989 Caprice Estate in March (when my minivan was totaled) and named her Edna. Found this site when trying to figure out what she is worth. I am looking to sell it. Its not that I dont love driving around the grocery getter, but I have back problems and cannot tolerate sitting as low as she is. Nice to be here. Stephanie
perhaps you can find a nice older wagon with higher seats or a way to convert to high bucket seats. Wagons are fun and usually comfortable drivers.
My "conversion" consists of a pillow folded in half and a ergo back rest thing - which then makes me hit my head when I get in...I have a love hate relationship with Edna...:icon_drive:
I was gonna suggest the pillow! Just stop banging your head and you will be okay! Anything is better than another minivan.
I'd love to quit banging my head :banghead3:- that would help keep the neck in place too. And the kids love her - especially the 3rd row seat. She needs some work - obviously - and I am doing what I can. Throttle positioning sensor needs replacing - cant go anywhere w/o the service engine light coming on. :/ She drinks oil worse than my ex drank beer. Have new gaskets, need to replace.
She drinks oil worse than my ex drank beer At least you can still keep the wagon in a straight line! Do you live up near where the Mississippi River begins? We've ridden motrcycles up the river from central illinois and also camped with our RV up near Winnibago, I believe. Wife is from Redwood Falls. But that was during the Cival War.
Enjoy your wagon and hopefully your back will get better. We're getting so we need a pillow top mattress to ride on. But off to Illinois again next week----in a stinkin pick up truck. The wagon needs work and I can't get my wife to crawl under it in this 100 degree weather.
Welcome! If you are serious about selling Edna, I'm sure within time a memebr here may be interested, and you will know she goes to a good home.
