Wow...
How much ArmorAll got sprayed on that car?
Those guys have a detailer to be proud of!

If I had a big pile of extra money lying around,
I'd put my life on hold and be on a plane TONIGHT!

Drive it home and stuff it in the garage as a spare...

That car looks really nice. 8)

It's been there for quite some time now despite 40 smth people watching it, no one gets it! Speaking of pristine and rare, there's a red 06 i think V70R with 47k in it on Craigslist. If I had 20k I would have gotten that one :)

Dude - Check out the seats - There aren't even butt rub mark on the bolster.
They ALL have that at this age. The Alcantra is nice, zero pilling. It even has
dent-free aluminum trim around the radio. That stuff always gets banged up.

If the rest of the car is as nice... Someone's gonna get a sweet car! :mrgreen:

My real question would be, what's it like underneath?
How much salt do they use in Nebraska and was it a winter car?

8k buys a lot of detailing. It's sitting at that price because the seller is looking for his unicorn fish

I'll bet the ebrake doesn't work

People here in the states are expert at making a poorly maintained car needing thousands look good for a picture

Well... if it was parked on a level driveway... I mean ... :lol:

I noticed the amount of armorall - it's basically been dipped in the stuff. Still, the seats, as someone mentioned, is a pretty good indicator of someone who's careful with the car... or had the good sense to put a cover on them while abusing it for 16 years... Hm. I'm all confused now. That said, you'd still have to shell out 12-13k for it around here. :P
