I just got a 2R I bought last week from the original owner. 43K original miles, original paint and all documentation from new. Only missing the window sticker unfortunately. Was a very sad and emotional situation.
I been looking for a 2R like this for 2 years and this one just came up out of no where but I was ready to immediately make a move for it. The family was selling it bc the owner (Curt) was ill and in a home and sadly was not going to be coming home. Curt had toyed with selling it before he got sick. His medical bills were piling up and his wife and he agreed to finally sell the car.
I flew out to Utah to look at the car (from Long Island, NY) and it was everything they said it was. Original paint (my #1 priority for my 3rd and last svo...LOL), documentation, original owner car.
When I met the family I was only able to meet his son and his sister in law bc Curt took a turn for the worst the night before and was really sick. It was a very real life situation.
The car is in excellent condition. Interior is pretty much a 10/10 and exterior is a solid 9-9.5/10. A few rock chips on the hood and 2 minor pinhead type dents
Curts wife was extremely relieved that I immediately flew out there to get this done. Honestly, I did not even try to talk them down on the price, especially after knowing what the money was going for. I gave them 20K for the car (their asking price). In my opinion even if I overpaid a few grand...so what...(I don't think I did)
It is an honor for me to have this car and to continue its legacy.
I flew out on a red-eye weds night bough the car Thursday am, Curt sadly passed away on Friday afternoon and I returned home Friday night on a red-eye flight.
During this sad time my beloved Koda (my Chocolate Lab) had to be put to sleep Thursday night and I could not be there for him. All this in 2 days...My pup was 10-1/2 and recently been diagnosed with Lymphoma. I thought he would last a few more weeks but it wasn't meant to be... An emotional roller coaster to put it mildly...
I will post more pics when I have time
