It does look pretty clean. It appears the reserve has been met at $11K. Everything looks correct, except for the price it should have the correct U.S. headlights instead of the euros. It will be interesting to see how high it sells.

Thats a sweet looking wagon. But I agree 14k is a lot for a 20 year car. They seem to be going for that nowa days.

Yup, there is a limited supply of cars in that condition, and it would cost a lot more than $11 - 14K to put an average one into that kind of condition.

That's why I wonder if I should put a motor in mine and polish the paint.
My auction starts at 6pm Pacific on fleebay...perhaps with this going at 11k I might get at least $1000.00 for mine ?

Well, live in hopes.

Ebay is sure better for selling than for buying.

It looks original, look at the close up of the door jamb with the original stickers. If it has been repainted, it's sure not worth $14K.

The pessimist in me says he pealed off the original stickers and re-revited the badge on there. I'm probably wrong though, but damn where was that thing for the last 20 years? In a climate controller garage???

If it's a repaint, it's a pretty good job.

Unless all paint has been rubbed with a shine liquid i don't see how it can shine like that, especialy in the door jambs around the VIN# stickers/label.

The dash pad is unmarked too...mmmmmm?
What is it that makes me so suspicious?

Ran mine on Ebay twice. Brought $5800 first time and "buy it now" of $6750 the second. Both times NO SHOW winners The last guy did send me $60 to relist it. I just have not yet. I may forget Ebay and just go with the local paper this time around.... For pics see link below. I just spent $400 getting the little nicks and scratches around all the fenders repaired. I also had the small rust spot on the front valance sanded and painted as well. Cali cars always bring ludacris amounts of money on the bay
