    This is kind of a pointless comment:
    Odd. I always thought a car was purchased used by the original owner, or it was purchased new by the second owner.

    Nice-looking car. Unusual in that all of the photos were taken inside a Chevy dealer service garage.

    He says the only bad is the headliner sagging in spots, but he shows no photos of the problem. He should as potential buyers would want to see the extent of the problem. If you're going to mention it, show it.

    Don't REALLY need to see a pic of a falling-down headliner. VERY common problem on the box wagons. It's either in good condition (already been replaced), or it needs a new one...

    You mention a problem, you should show it. Doesn't matter how common it is. One person's "minor problem" is another person's disaster, and someone interested in the car might not be aware of how common it is.
