If it's being flipped, it's not at a big margin, at least. I love wagons, but I still have an old school mindset that they should be less money than non-wagons. That isn't based on reality, however...just a mindset built on decades of looking at used cars. However, I'm now seeing many old wagons like this in the same condition with asking prices of $25 - 30k, and that's even less realistic than I am (in my opinion.)

Thought I saw this before - still nice and still worth the price IMO.

I remember this car. In the previous post the interior rear section looked pretty scruffy. For the increase in price, I hope that the flipper cleaned that up. I do like the car. When I sell my Buick my next car will be a wagon, or an Olds.

I live about 45 minutes away from this car, if someone wanted me to look at it for them.
