Bought the wagon in Pittsburgh,Pa in 2002 with just under 130,000. Now with over 180,000 Girl friend wants one with an air bag. I hate to sell it. Its been a reliable car with no accidents The Car fax report is clean and consistent.
When I bought it the rust was just beginning to eat through the lower front edge of the drivers door. In 2007 I replaced the section of inner and outer sill and 6inches of floor pan from where it begins back approximately 2ft. This wasn't just a tack on job. I was concerned about the structural integrity and welded it in with complete seams on the inside and and out where there were double overlays. When I fixed the door,I no longer had the use of the mig and used fiberglass backed with the fiber glass cloth and nylon screening. There are also a few small spots of surface rust that I cleaned and painted.
The only repair needed is the bushing in the transmission tail housing. The brakes , rotors calipers front wheel bearings and front dust shields, as well as the complete muffler system including converter have been replaced in the past 2 yrs.. There has also been a slight whine in the rear at around 60 mph that has been there since I bought the car and has not worsened.
I don't want to give the car away nor take advantage of anyone. Except for the for mentioned rust work, the body is very clean considering the climate here in Rochester,NY.
