Cheers buddy, never seen any green dash neither! Interesting!

(3 red ones and a blue one, in the `similar vehicles` section below the one listed for sale. Interesting to see diesels offered..I usually do that out of curiosity to check on the odometer/mileage.
I thought they were super rare there (and in germany, switzerland etc) bc the diesels are chased out due to fuel emmission requirements of the EU.

Is it relatively expensive to register that car where you live? How much actually?

The French blue $600 car has 650000kms. That`s not bad.
What do you mean by the tailgate? It's the regular paint too. Therefore the car came with window film tint on the both rear back seat windows, back windows as well as the tailgate. Which is all in all pretty useful.

The link you're displaying shows a green french volvo, not a blue one. Plus they're only 940. That's an other reason why I'm suspicious about that "740 Polar Pack" as it doesn't seem to appear anywhere.

Finally, France used to be massively diesel friendly. Things changed and while there is less and less brand new diesel cars, a huge amount of them are still available on the second-hand market. Then, in France, emission taxes' applies on new vehicle, thus you don't pay them on a second-hand car. It costs me 360€ (426$) to register.
