Those headlight wipers were optional. 100% not needed. You're better off without them. I would avoid a 124 with traction control, too. You want that wagon with as few options as possible. They're great vehicles. Look at the service history for head gasket and engine wiring harness. The only real killer defect on the 124 in my opinion is the evaporator in the climate control system.
