    I have a 1989 Buick Lesabre Estate station wagon for trade only. It's posted on Craigslist in the Pittsburgh area, just type in the vehicle in the search and it should come up. What I'm looking for is a 1970-74 full size station wagon (preferred) or a full size four door sedan. Vehicle must be in great shape and either have a valid PA inspection or be able to pass an inspection. It must have a V-8 that is 350 cubic inch or bigger with a FOUR BARREL CARBURETOR. It also must have NO A/C and NO POWER WINDOWS. Also original points ignition set up. I don't care about any other options, prefer it to be as bare bones as can be. Please no rust outs or Frankenstein (customized) vehicles.
    Now what I have. As stated above I have a 1989 Buick Lesabre Estate station wagon for trade only.
    The good:
    -frame and floors are in amazing shape
    -Oldsmobile 307 cubic inch four barrel carburetor engine runs great, fresh tune up
    -fully loaded, power windows, locks, A/C, driver seat, half power passenger seat (manually slided back and forth, power recline), delay wipers, rear defrost all work
    -posi-traction rear end
    -has a tow hitch on it
    -third seat makes this an 8 passenger car
    -new gas tank, sending unit, brake lines, fuel lines, hood lift supports, rear end oil changed, transmission flush and new filter, new standard shocks all around
    -no sign of accident damage
    -will have a new inspection sticker as of August 12, 2015
    -comes with extra center cap for the wheels (hard to find)
    -has a September 8th visit to Rick Fennel here in Butler for rustproofing
    -two star chips in windshield fixed by Safe-Lite
    -interior and dash in amazing shape (except for headliner, it's there but stapled up)

    Now the bad:
    -paint isn't the worst I've seen but leaves much to be desired, some flaking off on driver side fender, swirl marks from wax, chips, etc.
    -previous owner scraped off some of the wood grain sticker because it was bubbling up and painted it brown (no fading of sticker)
    -headliner needs redone
    -very small dent in bottom of driver side rear door
    -currently no jack or tire iron (searching for one)
    -title says 134,000 miles on car, however there are still heater hoses under the hood that have the date 12-3-88 stamped on them. They don't look in bad shape. The vin is posted on my Craigslist ad if you wish to run a car fax on it. This car has had a number of owners before me, originally came from New York state and was titled in PA in 2006. Not sure if that mileage is correct.
    -a little bit of fiberglass on the inside bottom of the driver side front fender
    -slight oil leak , probably the pan gasket

    I only bought this car because I was down to one vehicle and it started dying on me. So I found this in a hurry. It's just too fully loaded for my tastes. I love and crave simplicity with my vehicles. However so long as I have this vehicle I plan on getting it rustproofed, new set of tires (back are pretty new, front not so much), oil leak fixed, etc. Can be done right away if need be for trade. If you have any questions or wish to see more pics of the wagon let me know I'll be more than happy to take more pics of something on it. Please contact at Dragonrider3458@yahoo.com or through my Craigslist ad. I'm not on this site much. Thank you and take care!

    Forgot to mention that the auto-leveling system doesn't function (rear end converted to standard coil and shock set up) and the power antenna doesn't go up and down anymore though it still works for the after market AM/FM radio/cassette. Some stains in the carpeting too, mainly around the drivers area.

    You need to put a value for the car in your description (read the rules for this section of the board).
    From what I've found on Craigslist, you mentioned US$ 4,450.00 before you changed the advertisement :TU:

    You forgot to post the link to your Craigslist advertisement :Comp:

    Maybe it's also a good idea to advertise your wagon on the Station Wagon Forums :TU:


    Good luck with the sale/swap! :beer

    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    First of all start your own (new) thread in the "for sale" section. Make sure to read the for sale rules first. Then depending on which platform you are on (mac?PC?iPhone?Andrioid?) you can either drag and drop photos into your post, or use the "upload a file" button in the bottom right corner.

    Good Luck!
