Resale profit aside, I wouldn't want that car even for free. IMO those wagons are hideous from behind. Now if you really want a particular car and the asking price is too high, it still doesn't hurt to give the owner a call and make an offer. Then give it a week or two, and the owner might accept it or something close to it, assuming there are no better offers.
