Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
From the Academy of Arts collection. Bad, possibly original paint that is dull, scratched, cracked and blistered. The body isn't totally straight. Decent chrome. Reasonably tidy underneath. Very light cracking on the front seats but the leather is mostly quite good. The wood is in quite good shape as well. Paint is really the only major need on this stately Mk IX, but there are surely lots of little things to fix as well.
Market commentary
This car sold for $20,900 at Dragone Greenwich in 2015. It hasn't had any apparent attention paid to it since then and it's not worth any more or less. Bought here for an appropriate price, but with big old luxury cars like this it makes a whole lot more financial sense to buy one that somebody's already done. This car has some major expense ahead of it but the price it brought is appropropriate to its condition.
