    He couldn't show it to me Friday, couldn't show it to me Saturday, maybe 'he could show it to me late sunday'.

    I'd say he didn't want me to see it.

    You are AWESOME, I really appreciate that. This is exactly what I was talking about, there are alot of scammers and bad people out there. Hey maybe he was busy but it sounds fishy to me. Fast Eddie if you are ever in CT please hit me up, I owe you and would love to meet a standup guy. Thanks for trying, I seriously appreciate it. My wife couldnt believe someone would do that and I said I would do it for someone also and have gone to look at cars and motorcycles with my friends many a time. So far the people I have met who own wagons or that are into wagons seem to be good people. I think its because most wagons were family cars and the memories that come with them are all about family.

    Not uncommon here on the Station Wagon Forum. I've checked out one or two, and the wagon pictured here ( v ) was in Wisconsin before I bought it, and also was checked out by one of our members (RIP, Silverfox).

    Either someone stole the car at that price or the pics dont match the actual condition because that seems low for that condition and motor. Yes it had some miles on it but the interior and exterior seemed to be in excellent condition. I thought it would of been closer to $7000 or higher.

    The Pics look like the right neighborhood, just surprised the guy did nothing to accommodate me seeing it.

    I had a buddy go look at a car near Dayton today. Looked great up top and in descriptions but the drivers floor was gone. The guy never told me that.

    Walked away after having someone take cash and a trailer for me. Anything in buffalo or area or jacksonville I am more than happy to go check out.

    Looks like the car is hitting reserve.

    Being "unable" to show a car in person is a huge red flag. I would not be surprised if this CE ends up relisted. The final price does seem a bit low if it's everything it is supposed to be.
