    I was refraining from sounding like an advertisement. Yes, I agree we are all being spied on anyway :)

    Don't take it wrong. We pick on everyone. The wagon looks nice except for some serious rust issues at the lower rear section. That's normal. How's the other side?
    Hope you can sell it for a fair amount or get it back on the road.
    Get some more photos up and hopefully members will give you an idea what it's worth. We want to keep you in the middle so you won't fall off either side.

    Of course

    No problem! (y)
    Thanks for the help.
    The other side is in good shape. I hope so too. Thank you.

    The first step with that great wagon is to find out what the front end needs. One thing to remember is that parts for that wagon are likely no more expensive, and quite likely LESS expensive, than any of the newer cars. Also, I would bet that the old girl could be fixed properly for a lot less than any decent newer car you could find out there. A decent new car is going to run about $20,000 as a minimum, and I'm betting that by the time you add all the fees and taxes together, you could fix the old car for that amount, or less. Thing is, all those fees and taxes really don't buy you anything, so the repairs to the wagon amount to free! Sure looks like it would be worth while finding a good mechanic and having at the old girl one step at a time, and then being able to enjoy her again!
