Anyone ever see a BASE XC like this?

You say they are having a hard time selling it...do the wholesale auctions have reserves?

These cars are really wierd to me. Its like finding the cheap unicorn car, only to find that its alittle bit "off". I saw a nice 2006 S60 in white. 86k, for 6,000 dollars. cloth seats, and the wierld climate control setup. kinda like this 02 S60:



its like taxi edition Volvos lol

I found a few of those in my search, fairly common in southern states actually. No sunroof was the deal killer for me. Most don't have heated seats but some do. The base package gets you the aluminum rather than wood trim, which I kind of like. I also actually liked the seats, I drove one and rode in the back of a friends for about an hour, it's cloth in the correct places. I really like the door panels. Unfortunately I've now seen two with a tear in that exact spot. You would hope it would be more durable than the leather but most gen 2 cars seem to still have decent leather...so many gen 1s look like garbage I really wanted ALL cloth seats.

Of course they do.
On average, 54-58% of cars sell on any given day at all dealer auctions.
Pretty rare when that figure hits 60% sold.
Only time that figure is higher is if it's a Govt. auction, those cars sell at whatever price they bring.
Those are also open to the public for the most part and tend to bring a slightly higher dollar figure

Where is that decked out '07 w/o leather? I'd like to see the listing!
