On the way to pick up an Eagle Wagon
« on: March 27, 2021, 01:03:31 PM »
I live in Ky.   I am a car guy.  Like old cars.   I need a 4X4 so I bought 85 Eagle wagon in Ohio.   Hope it’s as described.

Congrats (I hope!).   I spent 10 years in Cincy with the job, and always had a beater Eagle for a winter driver.  Best snow cars ever!

This one has spent last 10 years in a Strongsville warehouse and only driven 1000 miles.   Spent the previous 10 years out in Arizona with only about 1000 miles driven.  Suppose to have new jasper engine, new radiator, hoses, belts, tires, etc etc.   I haven’t paid anything yet.   So, we shall see how things work out.

Sounds like it should be a good deal. How is the underneath? That is usually where the big concerns reside.
