Thanks for the warm welcome, tips, and advice gentlemen. I very much appreciate it.
Story of my life, I have the worst timing. I used to live in Beaverton as young man 1/3rd of my current age but moved back east to take a better job in 1995.
I'll widen the search for the Diplomat wagons. The Aspen / Volare holds a special place in my heart but I wouldn't turn up my nose at a decent Diplomat.
I hear you. I'd owned 3 sedans and two wagons back in the late 80's / early 90's don't think I paid more than $450 for any other them, if fact I gave my girlfriend at the time a real cream puff of a 79 Aspen 6cyl sedan when her car died. She drove it for another 180,000 miles and eventually replaced it with an Audi. (I know this because I'm still married to her even though I had to constantly fix that f*$#ing Audi.
).
FB martketplace is the only place I've not been looking but, I'll have to knuckle under and setup an account for the BookofFaces after resisting since they first started flooding the mail servers I managed at a college in Florida in 2005 with invites. I didn't get the social media thing then and I don't get it now but I know some people like it, my whole family uses it including my 87 year old mother. What I do get that it's marketplace has all but nailed the coffin shut on craigslist at this point. I'll just have to create a "burner" account for marketplace use I guess.
