I’d say that he’s gotten his money’s worth out of it. Even though I’m a Volvo fan, it doesn’t move me, though.

I asked follow up questions via email . Engine was rebuilt 20 years ago and he says it's very strong . Body was stripped/repaired and repainted 5 years ago . He confirmed the 521k miles . For whatever reason I find the car interesting . But not 10k interesting .

My thoughts exactly. At $5k, maybe. At $10k? Zero interest.

You would think that after 25+ years of people selling cars online that they would have a tiny clue how to photograph one. CL allows something like 24 free photos and of course they cost nothing to shoot. I've seen worse than this but it's been a while.

It would be more impressive w/o the Momo steering wheel.

500k just getting warmed up. But the price is too high. He's trying to recoup for the mods he paid for that tend to negatively impact the price anyway.
