Not A T4WD, But Very Interesting !

I'd never heard of a Nissaan Sentra 4WD wagon before - does anyone have any experience with them?
This one looks mighty interesting, and only 90K miles for $2900. An Eastern car with no rust?

that is the hatchback version, I did not know it was available in 4wd, they had a boxy wagon version of it in 4wd, a friend of our family had one. They actually were pretty decent little 4wd wagons, had a decent overhead cam engine, they never sold well so they are very rare now. Parts would be hard to find. The wagon had a van type side sliding door, made it easier to load car seats, kids, etc

Well, Nissan marketed it as a wagon, so ...
It reminded me a lot of my beloved '86 626 5-door hatch in style, but - I went with what Nissan (and BaT) said ...
From Wikipedia:
The B12 chassis would be the last chassis to offer a station wagon model, which was marketed as the "California" in some Asian markets. Even more rare are the four-wheel drive versions of the station wagon, offered as an option in 1987, 1988 and 1989 model years. These models featured an electrically activated single-range transfer case to drive the independently suspended rear wheels, making the car a selectable four-wheel-drive (not all-wheel-drive) vehicle.

The Stanza wagon ('82-'88) was sold concurrently with the Sentra wagon ('85-'90). One of my bicycle vendor's salesmen had a Stanza 2WD wagon; I thought it was pretty neat, but not as "cute" as my '83 T4WD.
