3-4 more years before those'll be showing up in the gray market on our (US) shores ... Canucks should already have them, no?

They do. They don't have the draconian 25 year rule bullshit us Americans have. SO many goodies out there with so little time. What's a man to do?

One of the best parts of it is the proper amount of cargo space behind the rear seats and not these wagons of today some companies are producing that are not much more space than an older hatchback had. I would drive that thing all day long.

I have seen several cars in the last few days with red wheels on black cars and it has made me realize I hate almost everyone of them. Just looks cheap to me. Most were some sort of candy or pearl red though. Still like the red that volk uses on their TE/CE wheels.

I don't know if I am growing up just the red on black thing doesn't do it for me.

I still would love some teal, purple, or pink raspberry on black

Even with that many miles only you are left with a lot of money to do a lot of preventative maintenance on that awesome engine.

The biturbo 5.5-liter V8 was factory-rated at 550 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, enough to propel the 4,300-pound wagon from zero to 60 mph in under four seconds. Recent work under the seller’s ownership has included an intake valve carbon cleaning, upgrading five coolant fittings to brass connectors, new plastic intake pipes, an oil change, as well as replacing the thermostat, coolant, shut-off valve, air filters, serpentine belts, and spark plugs. Past service intervals include the following:

...
  • 50k miles, O2 sensors replaced
  • 71k miles, spark plugs and coil
  • 76k miles, camshaft sensors
  • 83k miles, engine and transmission mounts
  • 111k miles, oil and coolant leaks repaired
  • 117k miles, motor mounts
  • 118k miles, O2 and catalytic converter replaced
  • 120k miles, new battery
  • 127k miles, A/C service
  • 129k miles, auxiliary battery replaced

If only, the Levorg is a good looking wagon.
$$ Talks, but I wish Subaru would revive the Legacy wagon, especially with the XT coming for the Outback.

I don’t doubt the mileage was a factor. Not seeing the records but from the description I would think there’s a lot of work in suspension parts waiting.

My new ride. Sold the '07 RDX, kept the wife's '11 RDX and my '03 S2K. Red one is the Euro version - Opel Insignia (this one's a Holden actually, same thing). Gray one is my '18 TourX. Had it since Feb 1 and loving it. All are made in 'Schland. Get yours before they kill it off!

Yeah, they are some gorgeous wagons. The Mercedes AMG Estates are also nice...Would be cool if BMW decides to "M" their wagons down the line.

It's not as athletic-looking as the Audi, but it's still gorgeous IMO...
