That's gotta be some kind of record!!!

And some kind of major life decision, like a family heirloom.

GLWS!

Yes, you are right! Its been kind of a family heirloom and definitely a tough decision.
But, If you are referring to reaching a record for mileage or years of ownership.... I don't think we deserve that title as much as Irv Gordon who famously drove his 1966 p1800 3.2 Million miles!
However, if you were referring to the asking price..... Please note that we are absolutely open to offers and are much more concerned with finding a good home with a new owner who will keep it on the road than getting as much for it as we can.
This is why we have listed our Diesel Wagon here first (and for now exclusively) in hopes of finding such a person amongst this D24 loving community.
It has been an extremely dependable vehicle throughout our time together and you could probably drive it home today as-is as long as you don't live 3.2 million miles away!
Thanks!

It looks like a nice car in decent shape for its age. I like them in white.

Hello! I just wanted to post an update to let folks know that our original owner 1983 Diesel wagon is still available for purchase!

I kind of imagined that it might take a little time to sell a vehicle during the holiday season when we initially posted. However, its been almost 2 months since we listed the car here and aside from the 2 very kind comments here from ngoma and RedArrow, Nobody has reached out and expressed any interest.

I am really hoping someone here would like to own this wagon and keep it on the road. I will continue to hold off on listing it locally for another couple of weeks - Keeping it exclusive to this online community which has been such an amazing resource over the years.

Remember that the price is VERY negotiable. If you have been thinking and wondering about making an offer - please reach out and email me through my member profile page here on D24T.com or message me right here in the forum - Just make an offer!

Or if you are reading this and are also a member of another D24 fan group or know of an individual who may be interested, please feel free to direct them here to view this thread and support this website too!

How about it? Anyone been thinking about buying this good trusty wagon?

Quite an amazing story. I still think it'll find an excited new owner. I will try to spread the word a little more. How many cars are out there 40 years later with the family that bought them new?

Have you looked into Bring A Trailer or Cars & Bids?

I just wanted to post an update to let folks know that this Wagon is still available!
There have been a couple of interested parties that have reached out through this site, but no one has made it out here for a test drive yet.
I really appreciate the ideas that have been offered for other places to advertise - and also want to thank those who have alerted folks to come here to check out this post and the rest of this wonderful site.
I have uploaded more photos on flickr which should be viewable here:

Remember, price is negotiable. Please take a look and make an offer.
