I’m tired of / disgusted with all these RS’s with “stories” and people getting taken advantage of.

If you are going to spend the money to buy an RS, make sure you pay the right price and get a great authentic one.

I TOTALLY agree, but most that are looking, and I suspect this person too, have a 'stories' car budget, and are looking for a perfect, original, Series 1 car....

Can't speak for others... but I am just looking for a car that is fairly offered and not misrepresented. The car offered by RM Sotheby has a ton of problems and they were asking for $500k (now asking for $485k). Based on the condition etc I think it is worth a lot less. But the Indian Red lightweight in France is asking for $1,000,000+ and that looks to be a fair price.

For people (like me) trying to enter the market, it is confusing and a bit scary given all of the converted chassis, multiple copies of the same VIN, re-stamped numbers, fake paperwork, etc. So you end up being gun-shy to trust the listings and claims. Not to mention touring cars that have various lightweight parts fitted (what does that do for value?). For those that have lived this for a while or already have your car, it may seem like we are just looking for a cheap car. My mind is open but when you add colors and interior on top of the polluted market integrity it means I will be very patient (and appreciate comments or suggestions from those more wise on this forum).

Yes, I was like this too. You ultimately get comfortable enough to purchase when you get expert advice. I work with just a few experts, and have seen more than my share of unethical behavior. It takes the fun out. As long as one isn’t looking to pay below market abs knows what a quality example sells for, they are out there. Most are private sales. I sent you a DM.

I posted on another forum when I was looking for a car and got some similar comments. No idea what motivates these kind of comments.
