'98 S70 T5, but one too-few pedals.
Colo(u)r would fit right in with the family fleet though.
In Philly the 8th.

Watched it , gavel fell at $900

Wow. $1100 in sale/fees, 450 to get to my driveway.

$1550 in driveway - too much for a 274k car I cant look at.

Hammered at $900, $1134 with fees. Probably not bad money for a T5.

I might have played at that price for a Wagon, but not for a Sedan.

Good news is that’s well over the crusher price so someone has plans for it. It’s still headed for my driveway, it’s just delayed

Darn right. The only thing wrong with that car is the trunk.

I guess my idea about posting auction offerings is to let our little tribe know when something interesting is coming to the block, and, of course, if it's Abscate Blue, to have some mild entertainment over the goofy spelling of 'colour'.
Over several years - back in Nearly Normal Time - I have bought a couple cars from these folks, and both have been under market, and not too hateful*.
