best I've got so far.
if it makes you all feel good, there is a miss in one cylinder, and the windshield is cracked... not bad for a CWC 124 DIESEL wagon!!!

I can find NO RUST!
there is water ingress in the hatch, and a SMALL dent in the hatch above the pushbutton.
TONS of mud dauber nests.
but it's been parked for 2 years, the estate is settled for the seller's uncle, and it went up for sale. I brought a new battery, put it in, and glowed for 30 seconds (it's 20°F out there...)
no hesitation at all. instant start, noticeable miss on one cyl. stop lever solid as a rock so it's either a bad head or a bad injector...
I SNATCHED IT UP IMMEDIATELY, then asked for pics, and details etc. drove to the GA/FL border and picked it up.
171K on the working odo, and the only two negatives I can see so far is it has no third row seat, and the center head rest is missing...

oh.
$500 purchase price, and 200 in fuel to get it here.
