Heres the story, I have a chance to grab a 2001 s281 (Non-supercharged) in Bright Signature Red. Looking for thoughts and opinions on it.
It has 80k miles on it, it is a "base" Saleen S281. Not going to explain what it as, I think most know. Anways, it is / was a DD, and has some wear and tear on it. Paint needs to be polished, bad. It has some scratches on it that won't polish out, and about a quarter size spot on the rear spoiler that the clear has peeled on. All the other clear is holding up. I have verified it is an actual Saleen (through Saleen by phone). During a hurricane a few months ago, a tree fell on it, it wasn't big or anything. It has a crack in the "A" pillar right above the passenger window, and the rear glass shattered out of it. The front bumper got pulled down a little where the mounting points sheared. It was covered on Insurance, and was claimed at $900 to have it fixed. Insurance check has allready been recieved by the owner.
After it was hit, it was covered by a tarp so no rain would get it, then pulled into the garage. It has no mold smell, and nothing is wet. It has sit in dude's garage since.
It does run, and pretty well i might add. It is factory stock from Saleen, no aftermarket what so ever. The only thing missing from the Saleen package is the wheels. It has some chrome Cobra R's on it now. The Saleen 18" wheels were sold long ago.
The paint is oxidized bad, and the car is just generally dirty. Guy DD'd it and never washed it or anything. I know, I work with him.
The interior is dirty, but none of the leather is cracked or ripped.
How much would you offer for this car, "as is"? Im trying to work a deal, and let him keep the insurance money and me take the car as it sits. I can fix it cheaper than $900 bucks. I know where theres a cheap back glass, and I have a body shop guy who owes me a favor.
Sorry, but no pics of it, didnt have anything on me when I went to look at it.
What would you offer pay? And what would be your highest price?
I know most would have to see it first, but any ballpark numbers would help.
