Shouldn't that have been $20K higher?

Good Buy?

Minor accident on carfax from a taxi that slid in the snow while car was parked. (rear tails and bumper had to get repaired)
Fair price to pay on this one once everything checks out?

Having one of each, I’ll take the windows out top tier repainted one over the original paint one with minor flaws any day of the week. The automotive paint technology of 22 years ago can’t shine the shoes of modern day systems and blends. Regardless if it is/was factory. 993s do not look good at all with patina.
The 964 was the last of the 26 stage paint process. Today it could bankrupt a company. I have 2 with original paint and two totally resprayed. IMO I prefer the original paint despite the top quality of the paintwork. (it is only original once) however less worries with a resprayed car. My friend sold a 993TT on BaT a while back with mostly original paint and it looked as good as new. Irrespective of the quality of the paintwork an original paint car well taken care of is always worth more IMO.

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!!

Depends on the car and if it's a low mileage/collector grade car or driver. Might add or subtract value depending on the quality repaint and the circumstances.
