What's interesting is that it appears to be the same wagon that was a barn find two years ago:

Is it just me or does this wagon look kind of crusty underneath?

 

It does look rotted out in the back underside, but man that interior looks nice and comfy!

 

Agreed I would want better pics of those rear bumper shock boxes. and what's with the funky looking seems to be holes in the bottom of the dog legs? Does that look right?

 

Left inner headlight doesn't fit right lol

 

Up to $7600 with reserve not met - wonder how high it will go.

 

Obviously higher than it should!

 

$9200 with one day left and reserve still not met!

 

Awful lot of money for a low option car with questionable undercarriage due to lack of photos...

 

I agree!!!!!

 

we'll know what the underneath looks like if it sells and they back out.

 

If it sells and they back out its because they don't have the cash 90% of the time. I bet it's relisted again either way...

 

Actually no it's not. I went and looked at a 74 Riviera GS a few years back. After talking with the guy on the phone and being assured the car was "Completely restorable" and in excellent solid condition. By the pics it didn't look bad at all seemed to need some front lights and plastics and the hood had some rust that didn't look to bad. also had a small amount of rust on the drivers side 1/4 panel. Drove 3 hrs 1 way trailer behind us. You know what I see when I get there? The front lights and rust were because someone started a FIRE to close to the front of it and bubbled the paint and melted the lights. There were HOLES in the trunk big enough to stick your head thru. and had I taken a SMALL ball peen hammer with me could of put holes thru the frame front tire to rear bumper. I was pissed he said "Oh you can braze that frame up"! The car was JUNK total JUNK and I offered him scrap price. Because it was SCRAP! Also a friend of mine won the bid on a Toyota 4x4 pick up in NJ Nice lil truck. He gets there and goes to pay the man and NO TITLE! Never disclosed THAT! He did the same refused the buy because of inaccurate description and flat out LIES!
I don't go to auctions or bid on line if I DO NOT HAVE THE CASH! I call BS on that 90% figure!

 

Well when you deal with junk you get junk so maybe 90% for you is not accurate. Speaking for the selling end of individuals or dealers for that matter 90% of the experiences I have personally had along with others on the eBay side there are more issues with the buyers not paying or backing out because of the "better deal" elsewhere etc. Or some other sob story rather than an inaccurate description or lack of pictures... Funny thing is not only can you message people on eBay you can also call them with your telephone and physically speak to the person selling in which its then up to you to sift out a bull shitter and be able to judge character & ask the right questions all at the same time... If some one has the balls to let a stranger drive hours on end for something like fist size rust holes & give out their home address that's risk on them and eventually it will come back on them in the long run.

 

SOLD $11,100.01.
