Edit: ok, latest piece I found on it makes it look like they pushed it into next year and will release as a 2019, with I guess a short 2018 MY run.

Hey! No shaming here!
Uh...I made that roadtrip to pick it up from Dallas Labor Day weekend.
But since you brought it up...what's a 2016 GLC300 4matic going for at auction? Ours is gray over black, well equipped with the pano roof, LED lights, Burmester stereo, COMAND system, etc., with 17k miles.
I'm guessing it's about the same as the Polestar, but the dealer is shooting for the moon on the Volvo. Classic case of lowballing the trade I'm sure because it's such a unique vehicle that will be hard to sell, and then marking it up $12k and demanding that price because it's a unique vehicle that's hard to find.

So since you've been stalking them, what's the price range you've been seeing, and has there been much of a change?

And yet I am.
Either way, party on!
right now, probably about 75/25 that the daughter buys it off of me in July, letting me have the phone of being back in the market. Will give her a break on it as a little graduation present.
If the new GLI is really nice (or if the base Jetta has a model that pushes the right buttons) might go that way since I will have a VW going back from lease, so incentives to re-up. If I don't use them, most likely the princess will.

I just think the inline T6 is a very smooth motor. Torque everywhere, and it feels nicely under-stressed. It is what pushed me over the edge to buy the XC70, they announced it was going away so I got one while they were still on lots. The V60 is smaller, and a little less nose-weight might be a very good thing. Guess that means you should go drive it. You're welcome

you are looking at $34k-$35k.

We'll probably go look at it tomorrow afternoon, make an offer that's reasonable but will be refused, and then wait. The likelihood of a $48k high-performance sports wagon sitting on the lot through the upcoming holiday season could be high.

Anyway, a recent turn of events may put my car search on hold. Life sure gets in the way of things, doesn't it?
@Breld, I'll go out on a limb and give you an early congrats. We like our 2012 S60 T6. The tech is a little dated, and ours is missing a backup camera and sensors, but oh well! Also, we had to replace the A/C compressor, but you wouldn't dare keep it long enough to have to worry about out of warranty repairs.
pretty sure that moving from a low miles 1 YO loaded A3 to an S3 is going to require at least $20k. For a performance increase he probably can never actually use! Better off buying a new exhaust and a factory supported chip to get close for 1/10th the price.

That's definitely a Holden Ute! How the heck did one of those make it into the US, though?

It's LHD! We were trying to figure if it was an export to an LHD country, then brought to the US. It's not 25 years old, for sure.
And, under the hood was a supercharged LS3. I'm sure that thing would absolutely melt the rear tires.
Here's a taste of what they do with these down under

We left to have lunch.

But using real numbers, let’s say an honest fair trade is $35k on the GLC; we’re saying we’d pay $42k for the polestar (hence the $7k difference offer), and they’re at $42.9k.
So, about $43k for a 2016 Polestar wagon with 16k miles? And they just put on new tires.
Hmmm...
