Hate to sell this, but bot wanting to see this one end up getting rust. Lost my last wagon to that. No place to protect this from the salt air since i moved last month. Once I am in a position to properly care for another, i will get one.
Had a lot of plans for this, but ah, well, c'est la vie.
see links for more pics - kind of a pain to post them all here
here's as much info i can offer to limit inquiries:
was a west coast florida (tampa bay) car most it's life. Rust free. had to relocate to beachside satellite beach last month and reluctantly going to sell it due to no garage space to protect it and don't want this to end up with rust. These are getting harder and harder to find in good rust free condition.
Third owner, owned about 3 years.

Extensive service history going back to 1st owner.
Car drives awesome. A/C blows cold.
Have driven it across state many times.
TITLE IN HAND

rear shocks
power steering pump hose - old one was leaking.
front door window rollers replaced
throttle body rebuild
new air filter
spark plugs, wires, distributor cap replaced
always 5w30 full synthetic changes
upgraded headlights to LED

- - - - - - - -- - - - - -
things i have planned to do/ the bad
replace headliner - and then while that's off, remove and repaint cargo roof area to make sure that problem area has no issues.
full repaint
replace wood siding - i bought vinyl siding that should look close to original
restore metal wood border trim - front left piece has a dent - i have a replacement piece for it.
after headliner replaced, re-tint windows
replace rear window rollers
replace stereo - current one is original factory but disconnected/non-functioning. previous JVC stereo was working for a while but had a defective CD player that was annoying me so i swapped it out for the factory original that i didn't realize has an extra connector than this car has.
replace heater core
i misplaced the small right dash vent trim in my move and have not found it so far.
parking brake light stays on even when brake is released - haven't troubleshot it.
also previous owner mentioned a parasitic power drain. I definitely created one by wiring the backup camera
so when the car is not driven every few days i made a short term solution for that by installing a manual battery disconnect switch.
