I'm trying to figure out why this ended up at the junkyard. No major accidents, glass is all there, it's a wagon(!).

I'm guessing hydraulic seal ruination, caused by water accumulation in the older LHS system. Because it's an ID19 it's probably not worth the restoration cost.

@brandegee: I think it was probably a project car that was left behind by a renter, then hauled off by a tow truck called by the enraged landlord. All such cars generally go through an auction somewhere, and nobody was willing to pay the $150 minimum bid (that being the scrap value of a car these days), so it ended up in the junkyard. Happens all the time.
