Given how the tan interior looks I'm tempted to believe the miles.

Even the steering wheel isn't hateful. This was Somebodies Car, as opposed to an apartment parking lot abandoned project.
I don't have any space under the trees, nor space in my bank account to chase this one.

(I still don't see any way to get a clean pic from their webpages.)
Right click on that pic, copy the image URL and paste it into the image BB code.
That is a really clean looking car though, that interior is mint.
That auction house has some sort of protection in the pics, it's the only place on the web I go that my computer won't let me do the normal right click stuff. The way I posted in this thread is the only way I've ever been able to do it, using a link instead of inserting an image. I can post from BaT and eBay and don't have the same issues.

Ah, that's dumb. Like how some sites prevent you from right-clicking due to "copyrighted content". I often right click to go back a page, so it's annoying. Nothing stopping keyboard shortcuts though...

I sometimes use the "Grab" app on my mac toolbar to ...grab... a piece of an image I need to explain something or describe. You can just circle any part of your screen, or a whole window, and save as whatever.

That's a pretty nice one. The ORE was offered in 2002 and I think 2006 (or maybe it was '05). They didn't make a ton of them. It was also a trim level on the XC90, same cool blue color and the V8. If only they did the V8 in the XC70...

Strange, I just tried and their site let me right-click, and then could successfully execute all the usual options. Mac running Chrome. Maybe try a different browser?

Here are a couple of the pics posted the easy way (copy image URL as per bmdubya1198)

Man, I wish that car was closer. That would clean up really, really well. I love emerald green!

Some people are blinded by their own experiences; I do not own a Mac. I also have more things to worry about than posting a picture from this one auction house instead of putting a link in the thread. There are precious few people populating this forum interested in buying from Capital; the drawbacks have been heavily discussed before. Mentioning these items here are more for information and entertainment, and I think helps inform our little tribe about market trends. If a rare car is on offer, it is a chance for an enthusiast to save one from the shredder, and obviously due diligence should follow. Running a picture instead of inserting a link is irrelevant.
