Dodge Wagon

[Hedgetrimmer]

I used to own a '65 Valiant, which began giving me serious problems that I could never resolve. I ended up selling it.

Today I ran into a '77 Dodge wagon. I believe it's an Aspen but not certain. I plan to go have a look at it tomorrow. The owner is asking $1600. He says it runs well but does need a tune-up. I've been checking online for comparable prices but haven't had much luck.

Barring any obvious problems with the car, does the price sound about right? I plan to use it as a daily driver.

My old Valiant had a slant six, and while everything else fell apart, the engine kept right on running strong.

Exactly what do you mean by "check the drivers frame front?" Also, how can I test the gas tank for rust?

Thanks for the responses. I'll definitely see if he'll budge on the price.

I checked it out today. The car is in better condition than my old Valiant, and it has a slant 6 to boot. I'm going to sleep on it tonight and go by tomorrow with cash in hand. I'm pretty sure I'll be driving it home and, once again, jump back into the Mopar game.
