I'm a wagon man myself so can relate. I only posted that sedan because it was the best example that fit Jeff's criteria I could find in my local CL.
And I didn't see Volvo mentioned in the thread as an option. And thought it certainly should have been.
As far as the seller being a "dealer" - don't forget that doesn't equate to "dealership".
I have made two purchases from "dealers" who are nothing more than 1 or 2 person operations. One was a father and son and more recently a husband and wife.
BOTH of those transactions were fantastic. One on eBay - my '97 Volvo 850 5 speed wagon from the father son, and the other on Craigslist the '86 Honda VFR700F Interceptor I just bought on Christmas eve.
Both parties were licensed Florida dealers and actually handled the title transfer for me prior to me picking the vehicles up....something I think they are required to do. But to your point - absolutely do your due diligence as the prospective buyer. Not just because it's a "dealer" though but as you'd normally do whomever the seller is.
My work is now done......good luck!
