So I guess there is not much of a market for these old wagons anymore. Is it worth fixing up before trying to sell maybe?

there is still a market. Posting a price would be a good starting point though

Poor heat issue is probably the blend door foam fail especially from a B4 from warm climate. If the heater core isn't leaking, I don't think it'll need replacement.

Ok, I put in a price of $2000 obo.

I agree, and probably why the AC is intermittent.

Plenty of market space but the issues are keeping it out of it

You say probably an easy fix, so fix it and it’s a running vehicle. Heater/AC isn’t going to leave someone stranded picking it up from you.

Good luck

It is running and can be driven no problem. I just hotwire it

I don't have the time right now to fix everything.

I thought I had a buyer for this but it fell through so it is back on the market!
