    A while back circumstances dictated selling some of my possessions, including my wagon. Now I have an itch for another wagon.
    What I'm looking for is one of two things; a BMW 5 series from '89 to '95 (E34 series) OR a domestic wagon pre '72.
    I can do any work mechanically and don't mind doing so if the car can at least be driven home to Chicago. Body work is a talent I do not possess nor do I have any connection for affordable work in that area so whatever it is must be rust free or damn near and straight. A nice original interior would be nice on the US wagon, on the BM I have plenty of connections to get other stuff if the car has a ratty inside.
    If any of you have granny's wagon in your garage that you'd love to sell off to stranger on the cheap let me know. Or at least a head's up on anything filling these requirements you stumble on and won't be adding to your own collections.
    Thanks guys

    Mine's still available

    If you're interested!

    3rd time listing on ebay turned out not to be the charm.

    Yeah....I think you should wait awhile before a relist, CaddyB. I think it went off at less this time didn't it? I only saw it with a couple of days left.

    yes,

    A little over 4000. I sent the two highest bidders second chance offers of 4500, but no takers. Hey I guess I just revealed my bottom line:)

    Bummer...I think you got 4900 the first time. You should wait awhile if you can. And shoot new pix...like selling a house on the market too long.

    Well that's pretty much my situation, but sorry - she won't be sold off for very cheap, as she's in excellent condition & has low miles (the wagon that is, not my Granny). ;)
