Does it seem that more T-Wagons have appeared in the last few months, in various locations and for various prices, than in ANY similar period in ANY previous year?
I wonder if folks have discovered there is actually a market for the Wagons and figgered they'd get rid of their Old Faithfuls?
Or perhaps just a reaction to the economic times? Maybe something similar is going on with old Subie/Civic wagons as well, regardless of their drivetrain persuasions?
Interesting...

Re: Not A Link, But...
There seems like a few wagons pop up here every month lately. I think very few are for sale as semi-collector cars. Most are probably just worn out old cars to their owners, who want to sell em rather than repair em and pay insurance and registrations. I mean, most folks don't have a big tolerance for repair work, and dont do much of that work themselves. When the cars reach a point of needing work fairly regularly, owners just get rid of them. And with these wagons averaging 24-25 years old, they're reaching that point, or maybe did several years ago.
Better for us, eh?
