I also doubt that the paint and interior were anywhere close to a $30K job.
Bottom line, what decides the worth of a car is having a buyer who’s willing to pay the asking price. Lots of cars are not worth their asking price but somehow seem to get it. A stock run of the mill SC with 200k miles will probably be worth $18-23k...add all the stuff that was done to the car that sold and you may be over the sale price. A glass out half way decent paint job will be $8k or more...depending on your demographics. Plenty of internet sales support my claim....it’s not like I’m pulling this out of my arse. Many may shake their heads but that is the reality.
