Hmm, well. If they aren't really wanting to sell it, they probably want some ridiculous offer. I've heard of people thinking these wagons are worth 8 grand (not on here, though

)
Since the wagons are rarer, they would demand more than a sedan..and if it were a sedan in the shape you say it is...it might be worth $5500? So around that / maybe a little more.
Any idea on the suspension? After all these years, I'm sure you know, anything rubber is probably shot. I am learning this the hard way!
