    Another low-mile? Wagon

    https://www.ebay.com/itm/1989-Ford-C...wAAOSwvddf1DVI

    K-code steelside. I’m guessing no pop up seats. Looks pretty good for a northern car.

    Another episode of really not being able to prove the mileage. I don’t understand why so many need plug wires at 30K.

    These sellers crack me up selling stuff with old tires. They swapped the spare in the RR. How dare you touch that mint spare. Buy a $55 tire. Obviously you’re in it for the money or or you don’t know enough about cars to understand that a 32 year old tire is going to last the new owner more than 50 miles.

    Right rear corner just in front of the tail light has some damage. Also right front corner looks like the header panel is cracked and misaligned.
    Seats and carpets have seemingly very little wear, especially in the trunk. Mileage could be believable in that sense.

    EDIT: Peeling paint on the tailgate, bunch of dents all along the right side, a bit of rust above the windshield,

      Someone has no clue what they are selling.
      Description says "Power Locks" yet the pictures clearly show manual locks.
      This was NOT the seller's car, if it was they would know that it does not have power locks.

        Someone will be very disappointed once it is in their possession for silly money.

        It looks good from far but far from good. Rough 35k miles. Id be a buyer for MAX 1500. A good DD if everything is in order. It needs way more than that in body work to make it look perfect. Like mentioned above header panel, rust above windshield trim and riddled with dents. Something weird going on with d.side rear door...not so much the gap but black scratches (creases maybe) alone the lower body line.

        Another case of picking it from someone for pennies on the dollar and flipping it.

          Talk about beating a dead horse.... but... looked over the photos even further and the weird black lines I mentioned above that I saw on the drivers side rear door actually extend into the front door to. The p.side rear door has a strange blotch above the door ding moldings. There ain’t a straight panel on the poor thing.

          One must remember this is only pointing out what one can see in pictures. Just imagine how much worse it will be in person. Just irks me to no end.

            The "$449 Document and prep fee" would keep me from bidding. Even the rocker moldings have dents and flat spots. Does the "power tail gate" work by a switch? LOL! WagonMan

              I'm gonna say that's a 135K miles. Among the issues already mentioned, I saw the lock lever snapped off, driver seat looks worn on the sides, wipers are very old (but not original) and deteriorated, and there's a second floor mat over the driver's original mat.

              Someone's gonna get ganked on this deal.
