Mike,

If it's in very nice condition, I could sell a tq WAGON with 100k miles here
in Oregon for $7000 US in a heartbeat!  So at $6k US, (what he's asking)
it's a good deal.  Especially since the asking price is almost never the
rock bottom price.  The only think that would concern me would be that it is
a Canada car (import to US okay?).

There is nothing particular to the wagons except the hatch struts that cause
problems uncommon to all you know about the 5ktq's.  Look for rear
ventilated disc brakes.  These are rare (although not an expensive upgrade),
so maybe this "special edition" has it. Also some of these had the lower
geared transmissions.  Good luck.
