@850LPT Thank you, Dirk. I would not be selling it other than needing to make room for my first P2!

For anyone interested, here is the ad from 3 years ago:

I sure hope this car finds a good home.

If my math is correct, in another 50 years or so after making its way around the MVS community, Dirk, you’ll wind up owning it again.

My turn will come up sometime in 2044.

Beauty car, still. GLWS, Mark.

Yes, options have been thrown around, but it wouldn't be a wise move right now. Dual college tuition payments are having an impact on my automotive shopping excursions

I was digging around a little and actually found the original ad from when I bought it from JRL in 2012. But unfortunately all the photos are lost

Holy smokes! This is a 3-MVS-owner car! Good ol JRL. I trade emails with him from time-to-time. Despite our -- uh how shall I put it? -- long ago disagreements about the level of enthusiasm contained in his MVS posts, we're friends.

Very eloquently put! But yes, this car deserves the MVS owners trophy.

Does abscate need another AWD but a wagon to go with his S70 AWD? Sounds like it will need a tank drop to fix the fuel sender issue. It must have been a month since he finished his last!

Nice looking car and interior looks good with reasonable history. Biggest issue is the AWD prop-shaft no longer there but maybe worth it even without.

GLWS!

What a beauty.
If the driveshaft is just out of the car, sitting in the corner of the garage like mine, maybe you could clarify /
You car is what mine aspire to be. Good luck.
