This wagon is a tank. I have owned it for about 7 years. It has never left me stranded anywhere. It has not been driven much in the last couple years. The best thing about this wagon is the interior is very straight and clean. The exterior is straight but with some fading. I have put thousands of $$ into this car. I hope someone gets it that will take good care of it. Engine: Runs strong, idles a little rough on cold start, but is fine once its warmed up, I suspect new injectors will solve this they have not been replaced in a while. This is a California '85 so it has the big air cleaner on the side. Cruise control stopped working a few years ago.There is a slow vacuum leak in the vacuum system. I have been chasing it down but not completely solved it yet. Transmission: A couple years ago replaced stock automatic with a used 4speed manual. These 4 speeds are bullet proof. The manual gives the car much more pep and get up especially helpful when merging on the highway. The swap is clean and was done by a reputable shop. Exterior: The body is straight with no major body repairs. It has been painted. The blend areas can be seen when close. The hood was painted and has faded and oxidized. There are a few small and minor rust spots. See photos. The roof rack has the rare cross bars. Chrome on roof rack has some minor rust. Reverse light lenses are broken. One tail light is out. Interior: No 3rd Seat. Interior is very nice for the age. There are no major problems. The dash is very straight with a couple small cracks by the speakers. The seats are in great shape. My daughter pokes some holes in the passenger seat with a pen. See photos. All carpet is clean and straight. There are some stains on the carpet in the back area. There is NO 3RD SEAT. There are a couple post panels in the rear that don't want to stay on, a simple fix. A/C was completely fixed about 5 years ago to the tune of about $1200. It worked perfectly until recently the air is stuck on heat. You can turn it off but the thermostat control does not seem to be working. The climate control panel is an easy fix and not expensive for a used working unit. The automatic door locks have been bypassed due to a vacuum leak in the system. The auto windows work but one window (right rear) needs some help closing that last 1/4 inch. Overall this wagon is in great shape for its age. The interior is remarkably straight. The exterior is solid. This wagon has never burned veggie oil. I bought it to convert but it was too nice so I left it intact. Shipping: I will work with an auto shipper of your choice. Pick up will be in Arcata, CA 95521 Questions? Please ask!!
