Definitely resembles the older style escape though (boxy version).
I guess the rear kick up and roof rails give a bit of an Xterra vibe. It is a lot smaller though.

I'm generally pretty flexible on colors - just preference.
but in abstract, yes, sounds like a great deal since you still get the full 6 years of warranty. If I was actively shopping now it would tempt me. If I decided I wanted an automatic, and could live with black over black. And that color combo would be a tough sell. The DSG, I can go either way. I figure if I get the DSG, it would be fine and I would like it, so probably not really regret going that way. But a chance that I could get tired of the stick for some reason (mostly if I physically fall apart, or more likely, need to share the car with someone else in the family!)

Like everything else, I generally will obsess over color choices, but when a nice used example comes up (or in your case, a leftover new one), where you have few choices, color becomes less important.
As for the DSG, since you have a manual in the fleet already, that also could be something to give.
What does your gut tell you?

I texted my Dad for his input re: two manual cars, since he has fought this battle before. His response was "do as I say, not as I do"

so I can get away with the manual since she would almost never be driving my car anyway (heck, these days, she rarely drives hers). And if I had to take hers for some reason, she would still be able to get around if needed.
so in this case, it really is up to me, without having to worry about her thoughts on it.

My son's G70 is black over black with black wheels. It has all the pizazz of a funeral.

I’m a sucker for a white car as I now have 2. My Mom’s RAV is white too. The new neighbors must just laugh.
Finally this weekend I got the XC into the garage. So nice having both in there now. All the houses in my development have two car garages. I would say less than 25% appear to park their cars inside.
On a side note... what does everyone use to mark the proper spot to park? The ceiling in the garage is too tall (my ladder won’t reach) so can’t do the tennis ball on a string thing. I marked a spot on the wall to line up with the mirror for now.
Because of my workbench and the steps on the other side you have to be pretty precise pulling in. The S60 I just wait for the front sensors to beep and I’m golden. The XC doesn’t have front parking sensors.

Two of those models nearby consistently have 3 cars parked in their driveway, with the garages filled with other stuff. What a waste - get organized people!

I was so annoyed - I actually asked the salesperson before I leased it if it had front parking sensors, and he said it did. I realized it didn't have them the first time I was waiting for the beep to begin as I pulled into the garage - good thing I trusted my own eyes before I ran into the dog kennel!
For such a large car and Volvo's commitment to safety features, I was just shocked they weren't standard.

$10K off sticker with a 6 year warranty? Even if you keep it a year, you probably wouldn't loose much.

I leased one car, 2 years/15k per. Brought it back with 29.998 miles on it.
RE: white cars...I think the LC is my 5th so obviously I like it. It does get boring after while. My favorite was the F30 335i that was white over coral red interior. Good looking car that had a heck of an engine and transmission in search of a good chassis.
RE: garages...A pet peeve of mine! Garage use is about 50/50 in the current neighborhood but was 25% or less in the old one. When you see the garages open, its is full of crap that could go to the dump or be donated or simply organized better with $100 worth of shelves and bins. I love having ours in the garage. They stay cleaner, protects them long term (as if a CCBA’er has to worry) and you don’t have to be as diligent about leaving purses or computer bags in the car.

I usually am conservative so if anything my issues is not being clear of the garage door, so if not sure, I just quick put the car in reverse and use the camera to confirm.

As long as the interior is right, the exterior color is low on my list of priorities (normally), unless a special car or a downright awful color.
I plugged it into Carvana and it spit back $21,675. So still a hefty hit when you drive it off the lot.
That said, Carvana is not always on the ball lately. A bunch went through NJ auction about 6 weeks back that seem to have been all "new." Not sure what happened. Maybe a dealer that went belly up. But you can see the prices they got, which is right in line with what your dealer is asking.

The cars you posted, I think, are the ones I've seen for sale in the Northeast/Mid-Atlantic.

no SEs, but even an S is what the new SE is going for, and an Autobahn a lot more.

Interesting that you say your garage is too tall for a ladder to reach the ceiling. I’d be measuring for some of that lift storage like Hoovie has in his garage. I’m jealous. I just hang a fishing float off the overhead light.
