Seems worth it for the seats alone. But, it needs an efficient way to be picked up, then scrapped after stripping. Maybe it's time to buy a little tow dolly and rent a UHaul truck to move it.

Ive got a tow dolly in NY and a vehicle to pull V70s. Pulling an XC90 might be a problem

In this instant case, it runs and drives. I plunked in the first bid as a placemarker; even in the unlikely event they let the sale pass for that money, I don't have the spare disposable income to deal with even a small project. Plenty of room left under the tree canopy out back, though.
