That should be easy. I'll pay for the sticker if they are still available. Must be a P80 car, pic is a must (video would be better). Deadline is 8/20/14. LOL

I had a red block 740 GLE with 405,000 miles. That would be 651,745. Keep 'em coming.

LOL, I bet if everyone could read their "actual" cluster mileage they would find a lot more miles.

I have a 1994 850 5 speed with 205,000. Today, I put in a new headliner (thanks to the step by step instruction here), pulled out both seats and power washed them, shampooed the carpet. Tomorrow I'll put the seats back in and it will feel like a new car. Mine does not burn a drop of oil and runs so good its scary. Wish my S70 T5 ran this good.

OP specified, "with minimum maintenance," so I guess an engine swap would be considered major maintenance. :P

Doesn't matter to me if the motor was replaced or not. It takes a lot to keep a car on the road, especially when repairs exceed value. LOL A lot of these cars cost less than a dealer timing belt job.
