You guys are checking the time stamps on the hotel pictures, the lack of equipment or bag, etc, etc...
obviously, they needed a gateway car for when they dropped the GT3. The guy in the elevator is the driver. The thief/hacker is working on the car and when he was done, he just called his driver telling him "it's ready, come and pick it up"... so it's not that they stole the car in 80 seconds...
I'm not an expert but I watch CSI, NCIS and law and order...

That will definitely not buff right out ... GT wheels and Carbon Ceramic brakes might be salvageable

"All the brakes are intact and show virtually no wear. It is equipped with the carbon ceramic brake$$$"

As he has it sitting on the $5000 RR rotor. Nice...real nice...

Seems to me the buyer had no idea what he was buying and is now trying to offload his severe error in judgement. I wouldn't touch that car with a ten-foot pole. the heat damage appears to be severe and pervasive. All metal pieces are surely weakened.

Hate to say but a crush and scrap seem to be best solution.

" it was stolen from the Red Rock Casino in Las Vegas and driven out to the dessert and set on fire"

Mmmmm, flambe'! Or GT3 Creme' Brulee!

The license plate ring looks pretty good.

You could make a few $$ with it but it all depends how much you pay for it.

I bet the insurer is digging deep into this case and going through it with a magnifying glass.

If you look closely I don't think it is on the rotor, check the sun/shade line.

Actually, I think you are right. If you look closely to the right of the damaged wheel, you can see a yellow jackstand.

The heat, flames, dripping crud - not worth 15k I'd surmise.
