    Wood grain Di-Noc replaced by brown paint some time back.....

    And the ad text says, "Power windows work..." It doesn't HAVE 'power windows'. It's got ONE power window - in the tail gate.

    It's next to the headlight switch, so maybe the 4-way emergency flasher button? Brochure says the flashers were standard.

    I'm surprised how high the bidding has already gone. The red button is not the hazard flashers.

    They were a round button just under the ignition on the steering column. That was true of GM products for many years.

    Seller says it's mint all over...

    -body damage on front corner
    -tear in driver's headrest(how?)
    -sloppy looking speaker cut into front pass door, aftermarket or just missing cover?
    -faded front pass door panel
    -multiple tears/splits on third seat(which are usually the best kept seat in a wagon)
    -scuff/tear in headliner above cargo area.

    When you say mint... that gives the green light to pick apart flaws in my book. It appears to be a very nice car and great color combo.

    "Mint" as I have found, much like "restored", "rebuilt", and "rust free", mean wildly different things to different people. Apparently most of the time my definition does not line up with what someone else thinks those terms mean when they are selling a car.

    Seller had the Kingswood listed with no reserve. A fair bid of $7,100 won the auction. Seller immediately emailed asking $11,500 and canceled the sale. Now listed for a fourth time with BIN of $12,000.
    Sellers like this give eBay a bad reputation. Try cancelling a no reserve sale at any other auction and he would be hearing from lawyers pretty quick. I wouldn’t trust this seller on any aspects of the listing.

    Sellers like that give themselves a bad reputation and subsequently go on record as being dishonest
