Ocean race edition xc70

Post by phat78ta »

Hey all,
I am looking at an ocean race addition XC 70. 2006, 119,000 miles . Car is in almost immaculate shape, and has been serviced by a dealership with records in the owners manual. Has everything on it except for the volvo safety(on star). Even rear seat DVD player. Small lot car dealer, they are asking 8900 bucks, and a full warranty for 3 months. should I take the plunge on it?
I'm not that excited about the amount of miles, but with dealer servicing it's not a deal breaker.

It's 1 of 500, so I don't know if that keeps the price up.

For Canada that would not be a bad price for age and mileage if it were CDN$. At 80c US to CDN$, That would be $10,500 CDN for a car with 190kkm. XC70's up here that age and mileage vary from $8700 to $12,000 CDN selling privately on Kijiji.

Ocean race isn't enough of a spec improvement to make it special. As far as I know it is some trim, a special color and that was about it.

does it make you want to pay more? And are you looking to flip it? I you are going to drive it what is special about this edition and are you willing to pay for that?
