My friend Richard bought a 1984 300 TDT Wagon for $3200.00 that needed paint and some cleaning with 106,000 miles on it. After a repaint and making sure all was working properly, he took it to McDowell Indian Reservation car auction and got $18,430.00 because it was a rare rust free low mileage wagon!

This inspired me to buy my low mileage rust free Palomino wagon and put some effort into it! If I ever need the money, I can sell it likely for more than I paid for it!

I had that one on my watch list on Ebay just to see how much it would end up selling for....it held at $18,000 for several days but had still not met the reserve......he must have had it set in the mid $20's.

How much was the TD new? $35,000?...that's not to bad for depreciation.

According to my paperwork, mine sold fully loaded for $35,801.00 with all options at the time including SLS.

The drivers side front fender looks to have been replaced, looks like a darker shade of white, the headlight doesn't look like it fits correctly(gap between hood and headlight door), the corner light doesn't fit flush with the fender.

I thinks its been wrecked.
