    Amazing what a well-placed comma could do. I think he's listing two different options:

    "automatic rear window, climate control"

    Of course, this is the same ad that says that the car is a "stunning rest free wagon," so what would you expect? I generally prefer my cars well-rested.

    "Firm" don't mean a thing once an offer is made. If a car has been for sale for a while, firmness can become "please, somebody make me a offer!"

    Quote from ad.......
    and battery Fully tuned up among other stuff

    First question I always ask when buying a new used car "is the battery Fully tuned up among other stuff?":rofl2:

    Except for the wheels (witch I have x2) this is just about what I wanted to have my 87 look like, yup wood removed:hide:
    But other projects happened and it sits needing the paint job, still 100% running drivable though....if I chose to.................................

    Yup, you can tell it never had 'wood', look I want on mine.......... but then the purists would chime in and stone me.
    :eek:.....:rant2:.................hence I said as per mine, 'wood removed';)

    OK, KK, I see where I may have done a typo of some sort. I did not mean the wagon for sale has had it's wood removed.....but I sure like that look with no wood being the same colour as mine witch is the look I "wood' like;)

    Interesting combination of options, indeed. From the photos, it appears to have power door locks, but no power windows...cruise control but no tilt wheel.

    I have to say I like the textured-looking seat fabric.

    As for the ad copy, I noticed this wagon is also "rest free". Does that mean this wagon has worked a lot over the years? :stirthepot:

    Funny, Jaunty. I also prefer my cars either well rested or well pampered or both, they must also wear "hazmat suits" (fluid film, specifically) when in the winter slush or go through an anti-radiation bath. (Exaggerating, of course and speaking of those which are put through winter.)
