    There are currently 2 brand new wagons that are 30+ years old on ebay!

    Im sure everyone has seen the Buick with 266 miles, but I have never seen this Vega with 15 miles. Both cars would be great for a wagon lovers collection.

    I could go for the Buick. I had a Vega and don't need that experience again. But, however a Vega Kammback with the cosworth engine would be nice.

    Id wonder before actually buying the Vega or the Buick.With that few miles on them they were barely drives off the lot as new cars. Makes me think , maybe the tranny seals are dried up, or the gaskets are gonzo. Im leary aout these things on almost new 60s and 70s cars.

    My, that was a tease... I was clicking, getting excited to see these (had seen the Buick before, but not the Vega) and realized the thread was 3 years old. lol.

    Talking about low mileage vehicles, a friend of mine has an '87 Ford Ranger with 538 miles. It's always been garaged and it's pretty close to brand new.

    I would expect to be replacing gaskets and seals on a car of that age whether it was 200 or 200K miles. That just comes with the territory. Pretty common off the shelf items for the most part. Rust free steel and all original interiors with no UV damage or wear, thats priceless.
