What the photos show
- Light grey paint is glossy and even all round, panels straight and gaps tidy — no paint budget from these photos.
- Chrome is deleted by design: bumpers are body-coloured with a black rub strip and look clean and undamaged — no chrome or bumper spend.
- Black aftermarket wheels are clean and the low-profile tires show good tread — no wheel or tire spend.
- Grey leather-look sport seats are clean, smooth and unworn front, with matching door cards — no retrim spend from these photos.
- Dash is painted body colour with extra gauges fitted, all faces clean and legible at this distance; carpets are dark and tidy — no interior spend showing.
- No engine bay photos in the gallery — can't judge it, hold back money for that inspection.
- No underside photos in the gallery — can't judge it, hold back money for that inspection.
Money: the paint, wheels and retrimmed-looking interior support the $10,500 ask on what is shown; the engine bay and underside are completely unseen and are the must-see items.
