1984 Wagon feedback?

Thinking of buying this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Merce...fCarsQ5fTrucks

Moving from NYC to LA, looking for a solid and styling car to cruise in with a 5 year old. Granted 26 years old, but my last vehicle

Any thoughts, new member...thanks! I've spoken to guy a few times, seems legit...

that car looks awesome.
odd that he did not take any pics of the 3rd row seat. because this car looks to have it.
the headrests are there, and the seatbelts are there.
ask if the 3rd row seat is there.
awesome that the roof rack cross bars are there.
7K is a bit much, but for that clean a car it may be worth it.
the odo looks original, so the mileage could be as well. of course it could be slipping and not accurate.

Nice looking car. Starting bid was $5000. Being a car in the rust belt, it looks rust free, but a close up inspection should be done.

30 mpg huh? I wonder how he figured that out.

He read other ads. They all either say that or 35. I get about 27-28 max out of mine.

Could be a respray. Looks very clean though, but for that kind of money why not move to LA first, then pick up a CA car?

I love the color combo. And it's one of the cleanest I've seen on eBay in a while.

If you've for the cash, get it!
That center console piece looks like it's never been touched with anything but a gloved hand. Very nice.

It must have been stored inside because it has not yet become 'Pinkamino'. If it was near me, I'd be all over it. I like the color. Biggest concern would be rust. Must not be a gearhead seller since there are no engine or undercarriage photos.

Interior paint makes pinkamino look brand new, and along with new wood around the shifter and presto chango you have a very expensive wagon.
