History
I believe I'm the fourth owner of this wagon. The first and second owners came and went by about 2007, and the third owner had it until 2016, when I bought it.
When I picked it up it had been well taken care of for the most part, in particular the engine and transmission had been recently overhauled, and the suspension was for the most part in good shape. New control arms and new sway bar drop links was all it needed.
The wheels however had all suffered serious road damage, including buckling on all five, serious gutter rash on all five, and a large radial fracture (previously repaired well).
I had the wheels complete refurbished by Precision Wheels in Gosford, and decided to do something a bit different with the paint. Photos really don't capture how green they are!
I don't drive for work, so for the most part the wagon is a grovery-getter and road trip vehicle.
