if he has adv it for 500. then he should sell it for 500. if you feel that it is worth that to you.
nobody can tell you what it is worth without looking at it

Impossible to answer without pictures to see the condition.......................................If he's asking $500 then it must not be in good shape...............................still it might be worth a lot more than he is asking......................suburbans are pretty rare so use your judgment and offer him what you think is fair and leave the ball in his court........Hemmit

Sounds like the ad was just bait to get you to bid on ebay. Is he local? Want me to come help you beat him up?

Is it this one? Looks kinda shady.....

The part that really stands out about the ad is something about the title saying it's a station wagon. I don't work for DMV so I don't know how it should be coded, but back in those days there was still a big difference between a 'burb and a station wagon. There weren't any "cross overs". I use to own a '71 Bronco and it was a "utility", that's still not a 'burb, though alot closer than a station wagon.
