    I had this car earlier this year. I would no longer start the coil pack or something. It had ac, stereo, good on gas and would hold a washer and dryer. Now I have a full size ram truck. Naturally it went to the scrapper.

    Well that baby looks like it sure earned it's keep.
    Looks like it was in pretty good shape.

    That reminds me of my '90 Escort GT. It's not a wagon but it's a hatchback and with no spare tire in it, I can fit a lot in it. I've never hauled anything on top of it but it'll do until I can afford a truck. You must live down here in the south or something because I don't see any rust on it. I've seen Cavaliers from that generation that have huge rot areas around the wheel wells and rocker panels.

    Look at any car in PA and you will see the same rust holes. My buddy rhino lined his whole truck just so it would get eatin up by the salt.

    The thing that is surprising is it looks to be holding some good weight and not dragging to the floor . I have a Chevy venture that i can carry 1000 no issue 1800 going slow it is still doing OK after 2 years but feel bad as it used to look perfect now well it is earning it's keep.
