Nothing Special Edition about it, wonder what is up recently with sellers posting these things. But a nice looking NA. Maybe a $3500 car in that market?

(oops - referring to the 98 NA in Boston area, smacknab's post)

Yeah maybe they're seeing the other low milage p80s on the local craigslist market? I agree the prices are generally too high.

I wonder if the market is inflating the price too... There's a nice red 2008 s40 2.4i 5 speed manual in VT with only 71k miles, with mounted summer and winter tires both with under 10k miles on them. Listed for $5900. I'd happily buy it as my wife's car it if it was closer, but if it was closer I feel like it would cost closer to 8k. I've seen manual s40's with twice the miles listed for the same price around Boston.

$5000 not $4000. This car has provenance, lots of provenance.

Wow, that looks nice! Not a bad price given what you're getting. The mileage is right on the money too, not too high, and not too low.

Eeeeeeks, that’s a history of a car that has been trashed, not loved.

It may have been driven hard... M56s will do that occasionally.
