What the photos show
- metallic blue-grey paint is glossy and straight, no repaint bill showing here
- chrome bumpers and colour-matched hubcaps shine bright, no re-chroming needed
- cream leather seats look almost new, no need to reupholster
- dash, gauges and door cards are clean and complete, no trim hunt needed
- trunk is clean and the books and data card are photographed with it, paperwork that adds value at no extra cost
- engine bay is clean and detailed, no detailing bill to present it
- orange rust shows at the radiator-support cutout beside the data plate, a real repair item to price in
- a paint scratch shows beside the door-jamb plate, small touch-up money, not a repaint
- can't judge the soft top, it is never shown up, so a new top could still be a bill
- can't judge the underside, no underside photos in the sample, so budget for an inspection
Money: at $225,000 the car looks excellent almost everywhere, but the visible support rust means some metal money is already on the table, so the price should flex for it.
