Private sellers may be a bit more realistic with their amateur photos and maybe you can see the flaws. 911r photos would have you believing you were bidding on a new car.

911r’s photographer is a true magician. The only way to really get an idea of the cars condition is to ask for very specific photos after the fact which won’t be filtered to hide the flaws.

Yeah I was thinking the 250k was also likely accurate and the car has had a mild restoration along the way. Nothing wrong with improving the cosmetics as long as it’s done right and in fact if done right can be every bit as good as the original. I suspect this car may be lipstick on a pig. Again I do hope we are all wrong and it turns out to be a great car for the buyer.
