tailgate washer and wiper, and window heater grid.

make sure the wagon sits straight on its rear suspension; confirm that the rear backup lights (reverse) and lenses are there.

wagon has a locking storage bin which should use the small key. Make sure the rear seats fold down flat and that the seat belts work back there.

spare tire well is to the left, basic storage is to the right, and is less accessible as it is locked under the plywood/carpet. Rust will be evident in these areas.

Check that the headliner is good around the tailgate. You'll see rust on the tg as well, but that is the way it goes.

Aside from that, it's a 240, it just is the size of a pickup with a cap.
