No, please do. I need to keep it running and not wet. I don't think it'll sell soon... I'd like to keep it at least another year.

Well if you wanna keep it just tell the wife no one here is interested! Maybe you should show her the parts prices between this and whatever euro project you'd pick up after and she'll warm up to the wagon some more Laughing

Why? Chevy and Buick both sell cars with great gas mileage and great warranties.

I bought a base model 2005 cobalt , new out the box..... 34 mpg highway, 28 city 145 hp , no govner, the lil sob was so much fun. I could bury the needle at 120mph and still pull on hondas.

I gave the car to my mom, she is still driving it today..... with 140k miles and no major service!!!....

only oil, filters and brakes........ no timing issue, spark, tranny, suspension, nothing, the car runs the balls still!!!



...........like Bill said american cars have better warrantys, cheaper parts, and arent made out of used damaged recycled salt water soaked radioactive steel...


...... thought you bought the car cause you loved the BIG BODY"S........ not the mpg's scratch

I need to do a clean up of the car and some better photos.

as for 'next'
I'm going to see if I can borrow my dad's spare truck so I can fix the house up. Then when I have some more money figure out what the future holds.
The guy who built this house didn't use cement board to cover the footings of the house. He used the shittiest particle board and then put stucco over it to make it look like a foundation... we pulled my deck down and found that it was all rotted underneath and infested with carpenter ants and I need to pull all the siding off that side of the house to repair it, replace the sliding door, replace all the siding and replace the under sheeting with proper cement board.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

then, when that's done, put a deck back in place.

I'm so screwed right now.

Best of luck with the house; that sounds awful. I would look into building codes to see if you have grounds to sue the contractor.

I think the home inspector would be the only one I could hold accountable.
My contractor was like "How the hell did he miss this? This is the kind of thing that he should have pointed out and killed the sale."

Updated post to better explain. I guess what I meant was I'm not going to sell it at a significant loss

I'm going to be borrowing a car (Volvo 855R) from a friend for a bit once this sells

The Volvo 855R & the V70R are two cars on a very short list of modern-ish foreign jobs I would actually allow myself to own.

This is largely based on the illogical bias of me being of Swedish heritage.

I'm done with the British, - 1952 MGTD Mk II, - 1962 TVR Grantura Mk II, - 1954 Jag XK120 Fixed Head Coupe, 1968 BSA 441 Shooting Star.

The common theme here, , , Lucas electrical - & - the "PRINCE of DARKNESS"!

.... When I was detailing cars at Volvo, customers would tell me they bought the cars because they are beautifully engineered cars. Never understood why, until I started working on them more recently. Like any car out the box they are great. But if you don't work on cars or know somebody, Volvos are horribly engineered cars from a technicians stand point. The lay out and concepts are miserable to work with. Very little info is available even with up date scan tools and off course parts are expensive. Surprised
This is a cross the board, new or old, they all suck. ......like all ways to each they own. and when properly maintained yes, they are fun cars to drive. Took home V40 AWD T5, 6 speed..... fast and handled very well. slow off the line but great highway driving. But the car is a nightmare most of time.

I will say that not only is this car super clean underneath, but it was also under coated at some point. First thing we noticed when we picked it up in NC. Truly rust free.

Funny thing is you can't even see the rocker panel in the pic? I see the frame though. Which might have surface rust since the factory paint is no longer..

rocker .... frame..... what ever, the small spots the floor ......rust is rust, on the surface or rotted through. you cant call a car rust free
if its there , no matter what stage of rust it is...... sure its not flaking or rotted out but its there!.... thats like saying its only stage 1 cancer, dont worry bout it.........

Not knocking the car or the sale, Seen it at Mod Day, it is very clean overall, but weather CL or here I'm calling BS tongue

I don't know if it's a valid point to insist that a car be devoid of observable iron-oxide-particles to qualify as truly rust free.

Perhaps it's safe to say that any car (particularly here in the northeast corridor) that has no rust induced chassis thinning, or holes in any sheet metal or any factory hardware that can't be salvaged during service procedures on an 18 year old car certainly qualifies as "rust free" in my book.

Try to find a literally BRAND NEW car still inside the assembly plant that has Zero evidence of some surface rust somewhere on it or it's parts.

Ive never seen a factory new full chassis car or truck at any dealership, that had it's un-painted bare steel frame visually free of rust, and we can agree that such a car would be considered rust free.

I understand the context of his use of the phrase "rust-free", and I feel it's an appropriate and accurate qualitative description, based solely on the four photos provided so far.

^I agree. Stuff on the dealer lots can technically have rust, lol.

I try to avoid the rust free terms and such, and just refer to things as "solid" or "dry". I've had people tell me stuff had some rust then I showed up and there were holes. Holes are not rust, that is rot, advanced beyond rust.

This car seems like a "dry southern car with no rot" in my eyes. Smile

I don't call my Impala rust free because it's from MA and is 40 years old, but it's definitely a dry and solid car that looks more like it came from out west someplace, Beaulieu Chevrolet undercoated it with god knows what in 1974, any rust I've found seems to be more from age/moisture getting into places/GM's poor rustproofing abilities...but I guess from an objective standpoint I could refer to it as "rust free"...

Sometimes I need to carry large items that would get wet and ruined in bad weather if carried in the open back of the dually.

And I do not want to put a cap on the bigger truck, so this wagon is perfect for those times.

The Boxy wagons don't really do it for me, although I do like the late 80s boxy suburbans.

I worked at a Tool & Die shop years ago that had a brand new 1990 2 wheel drive 3/4 ton suburban, and the boss truly hated the gear ratios of it's Muncie 465.

Half jokingly I said it needed a Doug Nash 4+1 in it, and a knowing smile slowly crept onto his mug-piece!

You see, a few years earlier he had home-brewed a D-Nash into his 12 cyl Jaguar XJS in place of the original TurboHydramatic-400, or was it his BMW 633 CSi?

Anyway a week later he sends me to the back of the shop, points to a big crate and instructs me to find a way to install the new Richmond 5 speed into that truck!

That truck was a blast to drive afterwards.

This RMW seems to get great fuel milage so far, and its rolling heaven for interstate travel, especially on the "super-slab"!

Roadmaster is a good name for this car.
