    Help me out guys. My sister saw this wagon, said it's $2000 obo, has 84,000 and looks really good. I'm going to look at it tomorrow, would it be a deal if all is well?

    Sorry that was the only pic my niece took, could have been closer. Also it was my sister that looked at it, I've been busy the last three days taking down a building.

    Anyway from what my sister told me, it has 84k miles (3,000 miles a year) and is a grandma car. I'll go look at it today, see what I think. From what I've read on here, I need to look real close for frame rot on the rear.

    As you say, check it out, but if it's ok, I think $2000 is very reasonable price.

    I don't know if that issue is prevalent on the B-Bodies or not. It certainly is an issue on the A/G-Bodies (Cutlass, Monte Carlo, Malibu, Regal, Grand Prix, etc).

    It looked solid, and the price was $1500 (I drove it down to $1250) but it didn't seem the car for me. Mainly I am certain my Buick is a gas sipper in comparison. The only real issues was that the driver seat cloth had a long rip, with a hole on the other side, and the headliner looked a mess.
