    I just passed by this wagon today, coming back from dinner!
    It was parked in a lot, pretty much by itself, so it stood out. Had dealer stuff on the windshield, so I could tell it was for sale. Thought to myself, I shoulda had a camera with me........

    Seems like a decent price, and by the pics, it looks pretty clean.......

    That interior is what my parts 82's looked like prior and I use the term very loosely last owners attempt at customizing

    Bit pricy IMO considering it's only a V6....but then again I am cheap :yup:

    It is nice but agree, it does seem a little high.
    And I don't think you are cheap Tedy just because you get as many packets of ketchup you can at the fast food joint then go home and squeeze them into the big bottle at home! :lolup::D

    Photos are kind of annoying. Six total photos of the exterior, three essentially identical photos of each side. No photo from the front nor from the rear. An ad should ALWAYS show all sides of the car.

    I never saw many of those, in fact only one of those new around here. I like this one, but the back bumper needs major straightening out. I would have gotten one of those instead of this one I have now, if one had shown itself.

    I owned a 83 Cutlass Cruiser, It just did not work out for me. I did not realize the rear door windows didn't roll down when I looked at the car. I found it not dog friendly with the hatch style rear window, not being able to roll down the rear door windows, and the A/C inop.
    That and I did not seem to notice how much smaller the cargo area was compared to the 77 Century wagon that it replaced. I also did not like how the car drove (I bought it with a blown up 231 Buick so no road test, but it was only $350 with a rust free body) After I replaced the engine the ride just felt choppy to me compared with the longer wheelbase B-body's or the earlier A-bodies.
    I know quite a few members here like them, just wasn't the right car for us. I do think they are one of the better looking 78-83 A-body wagons though, only the 81 Lemans's look better to me.
