Palu49 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Cool car. I found out when my mom had a v70xc that people aren’t diehard Volvo people because they’re great cars but rather because they’re so buried in them from repair costs they’d lose their ass if they ever sold them 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICG Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 5 speed.Volvos are hot items... Station wagons in pristine condition are highly sought after.... Add all the factors + you see a frenzy on the auction block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toslow Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) I used to have a 740 like that car, Buddy bought from me and slammed a 5.0HO stang engine in it Weird thing is it had a set of seats in the very back it was a 7 passenger car. They were assembled in Halifax Nova Scotia for a long while Edited March 18, 2023 by toslow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add all the factors + you see a frenzy on the auction block. life long wagon aficionado here and the Newman sleepers are legendary. he and Letterman were good friends and had a habit of driving quickly in their home state and around New england. after this car Newman had a few 5.0 supercharged versions built, one of which Letterman still owns. https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6hzjp1 the low mile tweaked brick I've had since 2009 gets about a thousand miles a year put on it and has really gone up in value the past few years. everytime I consider selling it I go for a ride and decide to keep it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch BAT a lot and am seeing a significant amount of 'bid to' results rather than 'sold for' results... so the market is either softening on toys or there's some bigger economic changes in the wind. this being said... It doesn't matter certain brands and models. 97 911 Turbo sold for$472k the other day. https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2018-porsche-911-carrera-gts-coupe-4/ this is currently under where they were in Fall by a wide margin.
