    Not with what looks like rust spots on that white paint and the general grubiness. More like half the $.

    Asking (almost) top dollar for a very much less than top-dollar unit. Would look A LOT better with a nice detail job (might increase it's 'perceived value' by thousands...), but as it sits, I'm not at all impressed. I wouldn't consider one of these at all with no power seats or windows.

    Yes, it is fairly low-optioned for one of those. All I see is power tailgate, tilt wheel, clock, base AM radio, and air-conditioning. (Power rear window was standard.) No power windows, locks, or seats, no rear defogger, no speed sentinel or trip odometer, no luggage rack (unusual, I think---it's a wagon, after all, what the h did you buy it for!), no third seat (cargo area looks fairly awful with stains and dirt), no cruise control, no cornering lamps. Looks good from 20 feet, but, yes, when you get closer, it has issues.

    $5,000 value tops.

    Yeah agree on all points. You can’t detail the engine bay, and scrub the luggage area? Lazy seller or clueless. That really nice ‘72 Squire went for that money. Know it’s not as rare as that Olds, but come on. Clean it up.
