Worth it??? 200

I already own its big brother 850 in the same year...
Just looking for more storage and less problems.

I'd be a bit concerned that the front end is sitting very high (is there an engine under that hood high) and the rear sitting so low, is that a TAB issue or are there a few mother in-laws packed in the cargo area?

Over all, it looks like a nice car but with the minimal info provided... be cautious and seriously under-bid.

This guy is ready for me to look at the 1993.. he has been out of town.

For some reason I don't see much pitch in the suspension from that pic. Perhaps you're seeing thru IPD goggles, John. LOL

Either way, the 850 is becoming old news and a bad buy. New tires, Struts, every ball joint, Engine mounts, Exhaust gasket, rear main seal, both CV's, new hub bearings, upper strut mounts, New 1993 headlights.. oh my head already hurts from remembering this stuff... 850 Flame Traps SUCK! (at least getting to them)

GF wants a GREEN WAGON, period... fortunately I found a 245!

Personally, I'm a fan of the Blue-Green Metallic which this ride seems to be, and no, I don't have "IPD Goggles" on when it comes to ride height. If I had to guess, there are suspension issue in the rear, either tabs, springs, or a few mother in-laws. Heck, you know what to look for! Seriously, the rear end looks like it has lowering springs and the front doesn't, beyond that, the car looks great.
