Potential model issues to inspect
These are documented model, platform or age-related inspection priorities—not a claim that this specific vehicle has each problem. “Not stated” means the listing does not establish that the item has been addressed.
| Issue / inspection priority | Evidence source | Evidence for this car |
|---|---|---|
| Restomod build qualityInspect welds, wiring protection, fuel routing, brake plumbing, mounts and fasteners. A parts list is not evidence that the systems were integrated correctly. | Original listing ↗ | Components are listed; build records are not reproduced |
| Air-suspension operationCycle the suspension repeatedly, check each corner for leaks and verify compressor, tank, lines and emergency clearance if air pressure is lost. | FTC used-car guidance ↗ | No independent leak-down test supplied |
| Third-row and body structureInspect seat mounts, belts, cargo-floor structure, tailgate operation, floors, rockers and body mounts. Confirm the rear seat installation is safe and correctly anchored. | Original listing photos ↗ | Installation and rust condition need specialist review |
Who should shortlist it
A buyer seeking classic-wagon style with modernized braking, steering and drivability who values careful build quality over factory originality.
What Waghoon could not verify
The displayed one mile is not credible lifetime mileage. Verify the builder, component specifications, receipts, wiring quality, suspension geometry, title identity and safety of the rear seating installation. Waghoon has not independently inspected this vehicle. Confirm current availability and arrange an independent pre-purchase inspection before money changes hands.
