Strong disagree here. Volvo dealers are premium experiences. Adding random brands cheapens that. Customers go to Volvo dealers for Volvo quality and service. Don’t mess with that formula.
Price reduction seems unlikely to be dramatic. The main benefit might be for fuel supply security rather than direct consumer savings. Still, every option helps in reducing oil dependency.
The mileage on this thing is insane. 27k miles in 35 years? This has to be garage kept the whole time. That’s the kind of low mileage that makes these cars appreciate nicely. I’d definitely bid on this if I had the capital.
I’m actually optimistic about these cars long-term. British classics are having a moment right now, and the XJ-S is becoming increasingly recognized as an icon. Low mileage examples like this will only become more valuable.
