There are a few things that were / are required for me to stroke a check.
One owner no paint work every document and luggage etc.
No leaks proper maintenance 3 - 8k miles. I found two you now own one of them
Need more information - but if it's like above 525 - 550k
FWIW - I do not trust clutch readings it's to easy to glaze a clutch consider it requiring one which is under 10k refurbished from Porsche and it's a good time to address any issues 15 - 20k.

So you think $525k is a good price?

I agree with the condition of the car and what is important.
Does the luggage really matter? Cant you buy the luggage after market.....
Whats the highest mileage cgt out there. I saw one with 35k miles... Even at that mileage properly cared for it should be no big deal...

I have first hand experience with a CGT in Italy with 80k miles...was about to buy it but got too scared about the fact it was essentially uncharted territory and I could have spent way above the saving vs a lower mileage one in case of an engine failure of any sort!

Any paint work all documents one owner windshield no chips no leather defects?
There is a difference between buying new luggage vs the original - all these may not sound like a big deal but if you are buying a car for investment than it's important to get the best as the buyer down the road will think very similar and dollars are secondary.
Documents Documents Documents. I used to think the cheapest car was the best deal - reality is the most expensive using your better judgement is most likely the best for ROI.

They most likely would not.
Unless the car was advertised on the internet and it stated no luggage.
Is it worth misrepresenting a 500,00.00 car? If the buyer finds out they are going to become more and more skeptical and most likely walk / run to the next seller.
I have a 69z28 and there is almost no way to know whether it's a real z28 or fake same goes for very expensive corvettes but there are service providers who do nothing but hunt down the history which is one of many reasons I stress one owner cars bring more money.

Luggage, no luggage, non original luggage, original luggage but from a different car ( non-matching numbers) , we're starting to sound like stamp collectors.
A while back, in the 80's, some buyers wanted original tires (xwx) on their 60's Italian cars. Fortunately, the more saner people saw the folly of that.
How far are we going to split hairs? A totaled car for sure, but where will it all end? With the original wiper fluid? Deduct 5k for non original replacement wiper fluid. Silly. The Duesenberg club has a sensible handle on this.
I didn't consider luggage when I bought my car. Nice to have, but it would not have been a deal breaker if it wasn't there. I use brown grocery bags anyway. Does anyone use their luggage? Probably not. Don't want to scratch it! Stamp collectors.

Haha, ok, I might be labeled a weird one right now, but I actually love car specific / fitted luggage. If it isn't too terrible cost prohibitive (i.e., it's not some absurd $100k luggage set), I buy a second spare set. Save that (it's the collector in me), and use one set.

- used to laugh at guys saying stuff like I posted but all the little trinkets etc are part of the heritage. Good to see a fellow collector - we are nuts btw!
Smokey this pic is for you spent last weekend wit this wonderful machine.
