Hi Guys, I have an opportunity to purchase a LH SL/R through a friend. I know it is genuine 4.2 SL/R but the thing that is stopping me from jumping on it is that the compliance plate was lost.
Again I know it is genuine, that is not the issue, it is just i know that the compliance plate issue will severely kill its resale value down the line - but by how much?
Its has well over $20k worth of receipts, most on the engine and running gear itself, but it needs a full squirt and interior retrim to bring it up to pristine condition. He is only asking 12K for it, what would you guys do?
Thanks, Mike. |

Hi Mike; That has to be one of the easiest questions we have received. At that price we would buy it, knowing the LH would provide countless years of pleasure, and despite the compliance plate issue we would make a healthy profit at resale. The only problem we can see is in having to continually justify to friends, enthusiasts, on-lookers and the like that it is in fact genuine. Ed |
