‘Poverty’ headlights, AC, and … doorsills? What do any of these have to do with luxury, much less performance? Some prefer the cleaner ‘no nipple’ headlights look. Hot/cold AC works perfectly fine without auto F setting, in a convertible, no less. Doorsills? Lol.
That Spyder is salvageable by just painting the wheels silver and the calipers red or black. Couple grand. Its ugliness may be a huge advantage during negotiations.

Painting the wheels and calipers are relatively easy as you said (while being somewhat costly). The Gentian Blue with Red Classic Interior and Red Top are a no go for me even with black calipers and silver or platinum wheels; I'm guessing most would feel the same.

I like the 'no nipples' base headlights on mine. Less weight and looks cleaner. But this car is a weird spec, you've got to admit. The person who specced the car splurged on aluminum pedals, but no Bose for example. And I just upgraded the door sills to the SS illuminated ones, they look great and more luxurious. The standard plastic ones look terrible on a $100k car. Do they change my driving experience? No, but I really like the way they look. Ties in the interior with the brushed aluminum trim mine has in my opinion.

"One person asked why only 73 miles? I ordered the car intending it to be a forever car, specifying a manual for engagement. Alas it is that engagement that in my case, is a problem, as I have a spinal cord injury that affects my left foot. So the car has been driven sparingly — exercised a few miles each month. Otherwise, it has always been garage stored and maintained on a battery tender."
True, who knows?
No one ever just says "flip".
73 miles and exercised "a few miles" each month. Yikes, not good.

Well the seller did provide this:

Guys,
Who really ever knows what is true on a post on the internet.
But .............
That guy could simply be explaining why it only has very few miles on it.
I had a New S-60 Volvo with a 6-speed and it was so Bad-*** I loved it and thought I was lucky to have it.
But .............
I lost Fine-Motor-Control one day in my left-leg.
Luckily, my Sis-in-Law, wife's sister was an MD.
I called her from work and she said can you make it to your Primary Physician's office ???
I said I'll meet you there.
Turns-out I was immediately taken to the Hospital for Brain-Surgery as I had Busted Blood Vessel in the brain.
I had Sold the S-60 Volvo as I PANICKED and thought I'll never be able to drive it with a 6-speed using my left leg.
Obviously, I should have waited but Sadly I didn't.
Things can and do happen to us.
Terry

I had this issue. Severe disk herniations that caused nerve damage and foot drop in the left leg. Had surgery that got me about 90% back, but manuals are still more challenging than they used to be. And if the surgery had been less successful, they’d be impossible. It’s actually not terribly uncommon.

Spyders don't have a great track record on BaT do they? Unless you're 000. Bad time of year for mass market for cars like this as well.
