    In So Cal.......... Beautiful wagon for driving around L.A.

    Recent work done, including new paint. I wonder if we saw this one in its unimproved state?

    Remember it's a 1990 "Seat belts on doors" model unless they've been retrofitted, lots of people do not like these because of those darn seat belts.

    Not bad for pulling a long long trailer!

    Excuse me if someone's already answered this question, but what is the reason people don't like the harness/lap belt in the doors? I know it was something of a problem for me in a head on collision in my '95 Cutlass Ciera 4 door. But what's the real reason?

    I've never had a car with the lap belt in the door. But don't think I'd like it. Seems awkward.
    If I bought this nice looking wagon I wouldn't let the belt stop me from driving it.

    It has to do with if the door comes open in a collision. Door opens = belt goes with it = possibility for person to be thrown out of the car. That's how some folks think about it at least.

    Okay, that makes sense. I got fractured ribs when the harness in the door of the '95 Cutlass tightened against me in my head on crash.

    You've also got some '1-year only' door parts. That's enough reason to stay away from it right there.
