Thought you folks would like to see this auction, as it closes in a couple of days.

Stunning Indigo Blue, but has an an interesting history.

I saw that one. I clicked on it because I like the color, but it looks like it has baked out in the sun its whole life. All the leather is separating - dash, doors. The paint issues don't just buff out. Many/most of the maintenances we discuss here will need to be performed. The price is good right now, but that has to easily be the worst cosmetic condition of an X150 I've seen on BaT. There's a reason it's No Reserve. It will be interesting to see where it ends up.

 

The photos show that it's equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control, a rare option. Odds are that the mechanicals were maintained just as well as the cosmetics (NOT!).

It might be worth it low-ball bid as a parts donor car.

 

It's at $8k right now, and I'd not pay any more than that for it. Salvage title and all. Five owners, Corporate, Commercial, Personal. No, I'll pass thank you.

 

I’m not bidding, just observing the auction.
This one may end up as the lowest priced XK this year.

 

Here I thought BaT was exclusively for pristine examples now. Guess not.

 

I'm wondering if the high bidder is experiencing Bidders Remorse?

 

I would imagine that it has to be worth at least $8000. The last 2 minutes will be interesting. It really is a great color.

 

I agree, the last two minutes should be fun. With the miles on it, the number of owners AND it being a Lemon Law vehicle, I envision an engine full of sludge along with sordid other anomalies.

 

While it may have not been a pristine example, it's still sad to see it only bring $8200.

 

Hey it's only a 4.2 and just NA

I'm not helping am I?

Great colour though!

 

Well, oddly enough for that site, it's $8200 final selling price is about where NADA puts it. Things usually go for much more than NADA's pricing there.

 

agree that 8200 seems low but that thing is a mess. It's a higher risk purchase IMO. The buyer got a good deal.

 

NADA shows $7800 for average condition trade-in. Reading the description of the car, I'd say it's significantly less than average. Hope the purchaser can wrench!

 

Wow, haven't been browsing BAT in too long.
Looking at the listings the dollar seems to have melted in that time.
