It is always a sad day to sell a car you have spent time and effort to maintain. Good luck with the sale.

If I only had more room!!

Read the add and the car needs a bit of love clearly. Been there a few times over the years and it takes a lot of work to bring these cars back to where they need to be to be reliable.

If you don't mind me asking, what are you asking for the car. I have a buddy who might be interested in a wagon.

I'll let him know. Have a feeling his wife may kill him if he brings home another one, but it has not stopped him before!
