Just bought this wagon!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=6330&item=4550005716&rd=1

Took a chance on the "Buy It Now" but figured someone was gonna snatch this wagon up ASAP and take a $1500 chance. Why not me?

It's about 1 hour from where I live. Hope she's as sweet as I am hoping she is!

I have seen far worse looking cars go for far more........

If it is truely rust free then its worth it for that reason alone. Hopefully the SLS works.......

You can always fix up a rust free car..........

but fixing up a rustbucket is a lost cause.

Hope when you finally get it that its is exactly as advertised....keep us informed when yuo have it in hand.

Nice Catch! Does anyone think it's setting a little low in the back?

wagon

If these 3 statements by the seller are true and factual, then you got yourself a wagon worth more than double the BIN price:
  • "There are no tears or rips in the seats, carpet, dashboard, etc..."
  • "The paint on the car is good, no rust, no dings,..."
  • "This car is in good running order. It has the 3rd row seat."

I saw this when the seller first listed it, but it's too far from me right now in my busy schedule... good deal though! I'm happy for you...

Very nice for the $, and a good year to have. I'd type more, but I'm gonna go outside and throw a brick through my windshield....

I saw that one too, early this morning. I was sorely tempted . It looks pretty nice for that kind of money. Hope the engine is good...

WOW !!!
Even if every mechanical part failed tomorrow, you could still recoup your money by selling a Rust-Free body.
GREAT BUY
Well done.

Great deal. Those TD's usually go for a premium even if in marginal shape. I almost wish I had seen it first
