Was the price on the phantom Vesuvio the same as it was on the RL ad before it got deleted?

this has some nice performance upgrades, especially regear

$50K yes

Strong money for s tip, but miles and color certainly played into it, I’m sure ...

I had interest in a 993 on BaT, and I did my due diligence in getting one done prior to the end of the listing. I wasn’t the successful bidder and knowingly did it at my own risk. I’m sure more don’t get one than do, but I have no idea how anyone would begin to collect data on on such a statistic.

First and immediate impression is that the miles are not even remotely accurate. However, I do give the dealer credit for posting as many underbody shots as they did. If compression across all cylinders are reasonably close together and strong, a leak down might not be necessary but ... I would go that far on this one if I was serious even if compression was acceptable. The brake fluid is a tad dark but has definately been flushed which is a sign that a PO did some basic maintenance. I’d budget for an engine out to do proper reseal and to give everything a good once over. The other benefit is that it’s an early production 718 car which means OBDI and no drive block!

I would be in the very very low $30s (maybe even an opening salvo in the $20s) knowing it will need $5k to $10k worth of service. What is the dealer asking? Are there any records with the car?

As as for the paint? I’d fix the rust around the glass, paint those spots flat black, and touch nothing else!! Drive it and enjoy the patina & personality that it brings to the car - that, IMHO, would be the best part of owning it!!
