    Wagons are getting expensive!

    Nice car, but with 145K miles and the overall condition, way too much money! WagonMan

      Inflation, increasing demand, and decreasing supply could mean five figure wagons are now something we'll be seeing.

        huehuehuehue, I haz e z monies

        I don’t foresee my wagon ever being worth a ton unless fully restored and then kept for another 20 years in great shape. However, maybe it’s a sign these cars might just go like the square body Chevrolet truck. Obviously we will think it’s wild since it used to be so cheap picking up a old Box, but people wanting to enjoy a bygone era are gonna pay to good money for decent examples to buy something for nostalgia purposes.

          So much for Panthers always being worthless. My insurance paid 11k for my 2008 P71 after it was totaled by a hit and run.

            I’m surprised that I still see so many in here who refuse to believe the cars we love are no longer cheap and plentiful. It used to be the same story on the fox body forums. Those folks finally realized that time had marched on. It’s not 1995 anymore.

                Prices (for many reasons) are crazy right now and many folks are selling garbage for big bucks. Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

                  Clean wagons bring good money. I could easily see him getting 10k for it.
                  Sometime I think I should have left my 87 bone stock. I paid $3k for it 11 years ago, should have just left it alone, it would be worth 4-5x's that now
