That same car sold at that auction last week, probably an auction return by a big buyerfoggydogg wrote: ↑26 Feb 2021, 20:59 Charity auction folks, not much love yet, hits the block tomorrow. In Abscate Blue.

Usually that means a fatal flaw
watched the 4pm PHL AUCTION TODAY. Most everything was high miles 150-250k stuff, proxies to $250-450 prior to auction then selling at $500-600. Add another $200 in fees, plus removal as seen fit
There was one 1996 850 that went at stupid money, $2000
My eyeballs fell upon a 1999 S70 in Nautic Blue with 124k which went at $500, 1100 to get home, too steep

It looks like a disaster tbh, I just wouldn't bother. $200 for parts maybe but even then it's NA and you have to get it home ...

I didn't notice the connection from the earlier post, I've been kinda distracted...
Plus, I think I have almost enough stuff.
Some longtime buyers do have refusal rights, probably moreso now without in-person bidding.
Sometimes the online bid process kicks a bid, and it gets cancelled on Capitals' end.
But as I mentioned before, people don't normally give away really good cars.

Already listed, with the usual cautions about the fee structure. Some folks nearby may be able to bid directly with iaai.com which would cut out the goofy 'SCA ' fees.

Usually that means a fatal flaw
It seems the code word at Capital 'running' means starts, stops and steers. If the listing just says 'starts', that usually means 'immobile, but makes smoke when key is turned'. On the charity cars I think they're kind of at the mercy of the donor for some of the condition reports; Philly seems to have their act together better than the DC branch.

This looks like a nice V70. Do you guys see anything obviously wrong with it?
