Couldn't agree more....I've never seen one sell for more than sticker, and judging by the early in the series strut number, this guy probably paid a hefty "additional dealer markup". I just added my 2 cents to the auction comments...you might agree.

(edit) Actually, there's another '08 on BAT....40,00 miles, obviously not as well presented, not well detailed or photographed...an older owner, judging by the video. One that has been driven & serviced enough to have kept it's blood pumping, so to speak. Would probably be a much better buy if one were looking for a driver...

(edit again) Just for kicks, set it up so you can jump from one auction to the other, then read the descriptive copy with the photos. Hmmmm...

I agree, 40k miles on a 2008 car is still very low. I’ve put 40k on one of my cars in the last 2 years and it isn’t even my only car!

Either one could be the better deal, depending on price.

That Volvo sold for $50k last time on BaT and $44k the time before. It has a ways to go.

Hmmm. I'm a little amazed. The 40,000 miles Bullitt went for $27.777. I would have guessed 20-21. (edit) As a %age of sticker, these retain value well. Sticker was $32,720.
