Project challenge - very low mileage s80

Post by **scot850** » 08 Nov 2025, 15:02

How can it be that low mileage and have a drive's seat like that?

And the parking brake boot looks flaky. Not accurate miles?

Indeed very suspicious, the center armrest is also very worn.

I see leather cracking from age and perhaps a seam opening up. Could of been a POS driver like me?

Its pretty hard to fake mileage on a late P80 CANBUS - there is even a code on the CDM for 'tampered mileage"

I agree in principle about the mileage adjustment is hard to do on these cars. However, I'd need a Vida on it to convince me the mileage is genuine. Could just have been an owner that parked the car outside and did just not care for the car or the interior.

I considered that one and saw all the pictures. The rear seats looked new so it's the owner. Already had an 03 S80 T6 so decided to not get another S80 NA.

Didn't have it long enough to do any engine work which was a good thing. Love the car however as some sweat equity was put in and it was honestly also too fast with the Transgo Shift Kit, so tempting. A V8 one of these days but other 3 have owned with 08 C30 in fleet. 2002 S80 T6 same as 2003.

Didn't make Reserved pricing so back on Auction with no date. Low miles can't offset the overall condition. Back seat looks good besides very little if any blisters on the door panel. I had to reglue all 4 door panels on mine.

Back seats looked un-touched compared to the front. Those look like low mileage seats! Wow. On my P80's, I think I have reglued most of the 2 piece door panels over the years.

00 S70 just driver's 2 piece door card separated. Reskinned armrest but everything else like new with wear on driver's seat. Original owner did nice and exterior was just as nice.
