It may be at some Goldilocks moment where everything works, but you know that’s not going to last. The only NP this will get from me is Not (at any) Price.

Just go gently with the left turns and keep your seatbelt on when you drive it home, or you’ll end up with your ear pressed against the passenger window. Get six months out of it and you’re good, everything else is gravy. NP.

Seems steep anyway, but with the regulatory tide turning against Kei cars, this gets even less appealing. ND.

Very cool, except for that face, which looks like some kind of high-end kitchen appliance that would leave me scratching my head. The wood in the cabin is different and fantastic, and I don’t even mind the full-width screen. Maybe a little overkill on the buttercream.

Objectively hideous in every way. The wheel covers manage to out-Pep the Pep Boys. The steering wheel spokes look like they’re made of surplus parts for barbecue tools. And yet it’s so fascinating. Took me longer than expected to punch ND.

High probability of smelling like an ashtray. ND.

You would get a handful of very enthusiastic bookings for the initial shock value, but I think it would be played out before you ever turn a meaningful profit. Beautiful work on this, but moneywise, less than the sum if its parts. ND.

My regret would grow every time somebody said to me, “Nice Buick.” ND.

Obviously well cared for to make it this far, and the price is drive-til-it-breaks money. A reasonable chance of getting your money’s worth before that happens. NP.

Agree...except for that, it’s one of the cleaner BMW designs in a while. Even the grille kind of works by fully connecting the kidneys with less verticality. This could be a way to take the design language forward with some continuity. Which probably means we’ll never see this again.

I’ve never examined one up close, but you confirm my hunch that as wagons, these were form over function.

Oh, for sure. Just saying, can’t imagine anything else at or above that price point.

Cool wagon, but it’s hard to think of paying $15K for any 2006 Mopar product that isn’t a Viper.

I don’t believe the temp I see when I start the car, especially in hot weather. Once I’ve been moving for a bit, it usually settles down more or less in line with other sources (phone, displays on business signs along the road).

Powerful nostalgia here, but this thing looks used up. The miles shouldn’t be an issue, but the years sure have taken their toll. The (mis)alignment of the hood suggests it took a hit to the front, and both bumper caps look out of whack where they meet the wheel arches on the passenger side. Plus all the signs of…

Agree, it feels neither fish nor fowl to me. I don’t know what a perfect example would go for, but this feels awfully steep given the imperfections and mods, however slight. I went ND.

I would normally go NP for a runner at $4K with relatively minor issues. But you can only ventilate this via the T-tops, pending repairs of unknown magnitude and cost. And 100K+ on the clock of a 2000 GM product? That’s a roll of the dice in itself. ND.

I lost a few weeks ago. Saw one briefly on northbound DE 1 in the Lewes/Rehoboth area. Oddly, just a day or two before, one had been stolen and recovered in the same general area.

Holy ’80s, are we not going to talk about those wheels?

Yeah, I think the Seville wins for audacity. It’s part of that weird GM phenomenon where 98% of their output is soul-crushingly conservative, and 2% is bonkers.
