[sold]850R red sold , nice car

Hard to know.

There were a few visual flags for me with that one that would have made me ask lots of questions had I been genuinely interested in buying an 850R.

Rear bumper lower and sideskirts are textured grey as per very base model cars, while the car itself is really well detailed. I think I had similar style wonderings from the interior too but with the pics no longer being there and originally only skimming my way across it, I cant remember what the specifics of those were.

I also think it's a car that floated its way around VIC having been repaired and in a 'nearly put together state' which I remember being sold to an interstate buyer, maybe back in 2018 or 2019 and it was sub $5k. It may not be the same car, but there were enough little details in the pics that made me suspect it might have been.

850Rs are way more desirable now than they've ever been, so I'm not saying $18k unreasonable, but I'd have some questions if I was going to pay that for the car.

There's some cars that are going for high dollars at the moment, so the market is obviously hungry for them.

Here’s a link if it helps:

This white one seems a lot better - I’m a little biased though as it is my brother’s car so I know it quite well!

Only 70 odd 855R manuals imported to Australia remember.....

Makes them more rare than sedans!

They sure are, but the red one that sold was an auto sedan as well ?

I'm surprised I haven't seen this around as I'm near there!

We’re both in Yarraville - 2 nice 850R sedans cruising the streets ?
